Even if No. 4 Indiana wins out, the Knicks will clinch No. 3 with two victories in their final five games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks also will have their captain back for most of them. <\/p>\n<p>Brunson, who missed 15 straight games, is scheduled to return from his ankle sprain Sunday against the Suns, the first time he\u2019ll play in a month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With Anunoby exploding into the best basketball of his career, the Knicks went a very respectable 9-6 without Brunson \u2014 though they only beat one team above .500, the Bucks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cam Payne returned from his own ankle sprain and struggled off the bench with two points 1-of-5 shooting, knocking rookie Tyler Kolek out of the rotation. <\/p>\n<p>Delon Wright started his fifth consecutive game at point guard and had 10 points in 29 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Anunoby and Mikal Bridges picked up the production lately, but will have to deal with the reality of having the ball in their hands less with Brunson on the court.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Brunson] will probably be able to play four or five games for us towards the end of the season, so hopefully he can get back into a little bit of rhythm offensively,\u201d Hart said. \u201cThat\u2019s where the strides OG and Mikal have been making offensively in his absence is going to come in handy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The defense, which held Atlanta to 31.1 percent shooting on treys, improved since Brunson\u2019s injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has to raise his level,\u201d Hart said. \u201cI feel like he was doing that better before he went out with injury. So we\u2019ve got to continue to do that, pick it up defensively. That\u2019s a good thing of Mikal and OG being in a good rhythm offensively.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes, especially at the beginning of the game, first two or three quarters, he can defer to them a little bit more, not waste so much energy offensively and give a little bit more defensively. And then obviously fourth quarter is time to win the game and that\u2019s when Jalen has the ball in his hands.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic ATLANTA \u2014 The Knicks are welcoming Jalen Brunson on a high.\u00a0 On likely the final day of Brunson\u2019s long injury absence, the Knicks embarrassed the Hawks in Hotlanta 121-105 behind scorching 3-point shooting.\u00a0 The butt-whooping was administered early and often by the Knicks, who<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":264902,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-264901","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264901"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264901\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":264903,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264901\/revisions\/264903"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
