Andrew Nembhard is listed as Questionable with a right calf injury ahead of this matchup against New York. His last two games vs the Knicks tell a cautionary tale: 24 PPG on Feb 10 (away) but just 8 PPG on Mar 13 (home, most recent). Over 12 career games vs NYK, he averages 12.5 PPG—nearly 4.5 points below his season average of 17.0. Last 5 games show a dip to 13.4 PPG on reduced minutes (26.4 mpg vs 31.2 season). Jalen Brunson has been NYK's primary perimeter defender, allowing 82 points across 54.5 minutes of matchup time.
Jalen Brunson is NYK's primary perimeter defender with 54.5 minutes logged vs opposing guards, allowing 1.50 PPM. Nembhard's career 12.5 PPG vs NYK is significantly depressed vs his 17.0 season average, indicating the Knicks' defensive scheme (110.61 DEF RTG) is effective against him. Most recent game (Mar 13 home) netted only 8 PPG.

His most recent matchup (Mar 13, 8 PPG) and overall trend down (13.4 last 5, reduced minutes 26.4 vs 31.2 season) support the under. Questionable injury status adds additional downside risk. This is the cleanest sell given the historical data and current form.
