The New York Knicks are going into an all-out battle against Brooklyn Nets on Monday evening. With the best defense in the NBA, the Knicks have only allowed 103.9 points per game, alternatively, Brooklyn ranks second in the NBA in points per game with 118.7. However, they have the best field goal percentage out of any team at 49.4%, featuring three players in the top 25 regarding three-pointers made on average.
The Knicks don’t have a single player in the top 50 in three-pointers made per game, meaning they’re going to need to lock down the perimeter defensively and hope their long ball is effective against Brooklyn.
