Expect the Knicks to play a lot tighter on the defensive end and hopefully limit their fouls.
Julius Randle Over 8.5 Rebounds
For the Knicks, Julius Randle enters this contest averaging 10.3 rebounds per game, which ranks ninth in the NBA this season. His rebounding total is set pretty low at 8.5 on most books. Looking at that number, he's gone over 8.5 rebounds in 47 of his 70 games this season (67.1% of his games this season).

With the Knicks capable of clamping down on defense, their efficiency inside of the paint, and the Blazers' rebounding struggles — ranking 27th in total rebounds per game — expect another big night out of Randle on both ends of the floor.
