It’s early in the 2023-24 NBA season, but the New York Knicks are once again one of the league's strongest rebounding teams.
Last season, New York finished third in rebounds per game, only behind the Milwaukee Bucks and Memphis Grizzlies. They were third in offensive rebounds per game, which helped shape their identity during the season. The Knicks finished third in second-chance points in the 2022-23 regular season.
I point this out because we are seeing similar results to start this season. New York is a top-five unit in offensive rebounding and just outside the top ten in defensive rebounding.
