The New York Knicks Point Guard Jalen Brunson is the undisputed captain of the team.

The Knicks will need Brunson’s leadership when the team begins the KO level of the NBA Cup that begins tomorrow against the Atlanta Hawks.

ESPN writer Kevin Pelton called Brunson for the rest of the tournament one of four “Pivotal Playmakers”.

“Brunson scored an average of 26.8 ppg in the group phase, although he only achieved 27 minutes in a blowout victory against magic in the last game. The Brooklyn networks that would have violated their chances .

Brunson was the Maestro behind one of the best crimes in the NBA, and if he plays well, the Knicks usually have the chance to win. Brunson is one of the best point guards in the league, and his consistent climb shows that he can continue the Knicks than last year in the tournament.

In 2023, the Knicks lost a step before the semi -finals in Las Vegas against the Milwaukee Bucks on the street. As one of two teams in the entire league, the Knicks were given a home game against the Hawks, which the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers defeated to get to this point.

The Knicks should be expected to beat the Hawks before their home proceedings, but not an opponent who should be overlooked. You will need Brunson to keep his squad in his A-game to try to hit a ticket for the semi-finals on Saturday.

Tipoff between the Hawks and Knicks is set in Madison Square Garden tomorrow at 7 p.m. The game can be streamed on TNT or in the Max app.
