Jalen Brunson (neck) sitting out Tuesday for Knicks

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (neck) is out for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

What It Means:

Brunson will take a seat for the second leg of the Knicks' back-to-back after playing 40 minutes on Monday night against the Detroit Pistons. Miles McBride and Alec Burks should see an uptick in playing time, with one of them likely replacing Brunson in the starting lineup. There will also be more opportunities for Bojan Bogdanovic and Donte DiVincenzo.

Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Knicks' implied total (106.75) is No. 15 out of 18 teams on the Main slate and the game total (217.5) is second-lowest.
