Derrick White has been productive against New York all season, averaging 19.1 points across eight regular and postseason games and hitting the Over five times. He’s been a more productive scorer at home than on the road overall, and he posted 20.5 points per game at TD Garden against the Knicks compared to just 17.8 at Madison Square Garden. He's also received a considerable bump whenever Jayson Tatum's been out of the lineup.


Payton Pritchard scored at least 14 points in 45 of 89 games, including the regular season and playoffs, and his numbers got a significant bump with Jayson Tatum inactive. Pritchard averaged 13.6 points with Tatum available in the regular season and 19 across 10 games with Tatum out. In those contests, Pritchard scored at least 14 points six times.


Jaylen Brown’s usage jumped from 28.6 to 30.9 with Tatum sidelined during the regular season, and I expect him to have the ball in his hands quite a bit tonight. Brown recorded at least three turnovers in five of seven games without Tatum and at least four on three of those occasions. Across nine playoff games this season, Brown is averaging 3.3 turnovers, and he’s hit the Over on this line four times. That includes two of four against the Knicks.
