To make matters worse in the 106-103 Game 5 loss, New York saw Jalen Brunson -- the Clutch Player of the Year and their superstar -- suffer an ankle injury. He landed awkwardly and tweaked his ankle, with the floor panel seemingly bending inward.

The Knicks have traded off performing well offensively and not. They have scored 94 or fewer points in both playoff games after tallying 100 or more points the game prior. Having put up 103 in Game 5, New York is primed to disappoint. It was just 6-8 ATS as a road underdog as well.
