It was only a week ago that the New York Knicks fell to the Heat, 127-120, but they’ll have a chance to redeem themselves on Wednesday night at the Garden. With the Knicks hoping to maintain their spot as a top-six team in the conference and the Heat hoping to get to that point, this matchup will be an entertaining one.

Jalen Brunson injured his right hand against Miami last week and has missed New York’s previous two games. He practiced fully on Sunday ahead of Monday’s game against Houston but was sidelined with a brace on his hand. Immanuel Quickley dominated without Brunson as he scored a career-high 40 points, but Brunson’s status will be crucial as the Knicks look to steer clear of falling into play-in range.

Here’s the latest on if Brunson will suit up for New York against Miami.
