Jalen Brunson has 15 in the first quarter. @Stefan Bondy recently wrote about a trend where it’s Julius Randle as the opener and Brunson as the closer. Against the Bucks, it’s the opposite. Randle can’t buy a three (0/7) but Brunson is hot to start. #Knicks – 8:03 PM

Toppin may be in for Randle, but playing the part of Randle as the first quarter sniper is Jalen Brunson, who has 15 of the Knicks 19 points already. – 8:02 PM

Bobby coughs it up 30 feet from the hoop and instead of hustling back looks around at the ref. Randle blows a layup but gets the easy putback because Bobby didn’t run back on D. Simple stuff, man. – 8:01 PM

And Obi Toppin is in for the first time since December 7 — subbing in for Randle with 3:52 left in the first quarter. – 7:58 PM

The #Knicks take a 14-13 lead on the #Bucks, who came out of the last timeout with three straight turnovers and then missed the two shots they got up. They’re just 4-for-15 while the Knicks are 5-for-20 from the floor. – 7:58 PM

Tonight may not be the night for Randle – after having 5 3’s in Toronto Friday he’s missed his first 7 from beyond the arc in the first quarter. – 7:57 PM

Milwaukee’s Jrue Holiday had seven first-quarter fouls all season entering tonight.
He had three in the first 4:28 tonight vs. the Knicks, the fastest three fouls to start a game by anyone this season.
Mason Plumlee had three in the first 5:17 of Charlotte-Denver on Dec. 18. – 7:56 PM

Randle misses his first seven shots, then blows an open transition layup before finally getting one to fall after grabbing his own rebound. – 7:56 PM

Like in Toronto, the #Knicks came out misfiring on nearly everything. They went 0-for-7 to start and are just 2-for-13 — yet the #Bucks only lead 13-7 because they’re just 4-for-13. – 7:53 PM

Jrue Holiday picks up his third foul in the first 4 1/2 minutes of the game. Tough for a Bucks team still missing Khris Middleton. – 7:50 PM

Make it 3 fouls on Jrue Holiday. Heady play by Jalen Brunson to drive right into him and force the contact. Jevon Carter is in for Milwaukee. – 7:50 PM

3:57 into the game and the Knicks hit their first shot from the floor — A Brunson foul line jumper as a continuation on a Holiday foul. Missed their first 7 shots. – 7:48 PM

The #Knicks started the game 0-for-7 until Jalen Brunson hits a continuation jumper on Jrue Holiday.
Holiday now has two fouls in the first four minutes of the game. – 7:48 PM

#Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said Serge Ibaka will not be available on this trip for personal reason.
Milwaukee has a back-to-back in Atlanta (Wed) & Miami (Thu) and then an early tip in Miami on Sat. – 6:14 PM

Unclear if Obi Toppin has progressed to point where he can play regular rotation minutes tonight vs. MIL. When asked if Toppin was ‘situational’ tonight, Tom Thibodeau said ‘he could be.’ He added that Toppin has progressed well in his recent workouts. – 5:51 PM

Tom Thibodeau admits the fact the Knicks are playing well does make it more complicated to work someone like Obi Toppin back into the rotation. Toppin is back and available to play from the leg injury that has kept him out for the past month. – 5:50 PM

Yesterday was the 1-year anniversary of mobile sports betting being legalized in New York.
And the $$ for that first year is staggering.
$16,192,562,924 in handle in 2022 in NY.
Which generated $1,350,967,099 in revenue
Resulted in a total of $693 million generated in taxes. – 5:09 PM

So good and bad for the Knicks – Donovan Mitchell named eastern conference player of the week. But Randle and Brunson both were also nominated. So there’s that. – 3:54 PM

There are about a billion qualifiers here, and PHX, IND, MIL, NY, POR doesn’t represent the peak of NBA offence, but Raps have allowed just 107.9/100 over last 5 and opponent eFG% of 53.3. Both are huge improvements to play that came before it. – 1:42 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the NBA in dunks right now. If he holds on for the rest of the season, the Milwaukee Bucks star would break Rudy Gobert’s four consecutive seasons reign as the NBA’s dunks leader.
Giannis has 111 in 29 games. He is AVERAGING 3.8 dunks per game. pic.twitter.com/ykcxOWXaBh – 1:35 PM
