They have not been a great shooting team, 16th in field goal percentage at 45.8% and 28th in free-throw percentage at 73.3%, but have been outstanding on the boards, first in the NBA in rebounding at 49.2 per game.
New York Knicks

That moved the Knicks to 15-19 on the road and they have won three straight games away from Madison Square Garden, but this comes on the heels of a stretch where the team went 1-9, making them 4-9 over their last 13 road games. New York is 3-7 in their last 10 games.
Julius Randle scored 26 points and added eight rebounds and five assists in the victory over Dallas. Randle is the team leader at 20.1 points per game and 10.0 rebounds per game. The Knicks are not a very good offensive team, averaging 105.8 ppg, hitting 43.6% of his shots, 27th overall. New York is third in the NBA in rebounding at 48.3 per game.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies (45-22; 44-23-0 ATS) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, 132-111. The Grizzlies are 23-10 at home but have been especially impressive of late, going 12-1 in their last 13 home games. Memphis has the second-best record in the Western Conference at 45-22 and is 6-4 in their last 10.
Three players scored better than 20 points in the victory over the Pelicans, including Ja Morant with 24 and Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson each had 22. Morant added eight rebounds as Memphis produced 52 boards in the game. That has been a pivotal stat for this team, as the Grizzlies have eight players averaging at least 4.4 rebounds per game.
