Bettors backing the New York Knicks’ NBA title futures probably started second-guessing that decision Sunday afternoon.

In New York’s 107-98 win over Cleveland, star guard Jalen Brunson went down in the first minute of the game with a knee injury. Brunson went to the locker room and didn’t return to the game. 

Fortunately for the Knicks — and for bettors who are banking on Brunson helping New York hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy — the guard’s X-Rays were negative, and his non-contact injury is listed as a knee contusion.

However, when it comes to availability, he’s day-to-day. As a result, the Knicks’ title futures lengthened to +3200 from +2300 overnight.

Another market impacted by the Brunson injury news is NBA MVP.

Heading into the weekend, at +25000, Jalen was far from the favorite to win the award. After he missed a majority of Sunday’s game, his MVP odds lengthened to +34000.

So far this season, Brunson is averaging 27.2 points and 6.6 assists per game, while shooting 40.7% from 3 and  47.7% from the field.
