Jalen Brunson Injury – How It Impacts the Knicks & Bettors | News Article by inspin.com

 

The New York Knicks’ Cinderella season just hit a major roadblock. Star guard Jalen Brunson, who has been the heart of this team, went down with an ankle injury against the Lakers on March 6th and is set to miss an extended period.

Averaging 26+ points, 7+ assists, and 3 rebounds per game, Brunson has been the driving force behind New York’s best season in years. Now, the question is—how much will this derail the Knicks in the Eastern Conference standings?

Currently 3rd in the East and 2nd in the Atlantic Division, the Knicks are already 4.5 games behind the Celtics. With the playoffs approaching, losing Brunson’s offensive production and leadership could cost them crucial seeding. The difference between a top-4 seed and falling into the lower playoff bracket could be massive, especially for bettors banking on the Knicks’ postseason odds.

 

 

🔍 Betting Impact

  • Spread & Totals: Expect lower-scoring games as the Knicks’ offense takes a hit. Bettors should watch for Unders in upcoming matchups.
  • Against the Spread (ATS): The Knicks were one of the best ATS teams this season, but with their top scorer out, covering spreads could become tougher—especially against elite teams.
  • Future Odds: The Knicks’ championship and Eastern Conference odds will likely shift. If you believe they can survive Brunson’s absence, this could be a buy-low spot for long-term futures bets.


📉 Can the Knicks Survive?

New York has defied expectations, overcoming years of bad draft picks, coaching changes, and underachieving players to get here. But without Brunson, will Julius Randle and RJ Barrett step up, or will the Knicks slip in the standings?

One thing is clear—Bettors need to adjust NOW!
