⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Knicks, aligning with sharp money (82% handle) and line stability, making a follow optimal as metrics confirm value without forced fade—Grizzlies’ injuries (e.g., multiple rotation players out) and 4-7 form amplify the edge. Knicks’ top-5 DRtg stifles high-volume shots, projecting a controlled, lower-scoring affair under the total despite Morant’s return boosting Memphis slightly. Overall, math supports Knicks dominance in a defensive battle at MSG.
