New York is coming off a 91–85 loss to Chicago, where Jonquel Jones finished with 25 points, seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks, and Sabrina Ionescu scored 16 points.

Player Matchups
Sabrina Ionescu vs. Allisha Gray: Both Sixth-Woman-of-the-Year candidates can take over late, but Gray excels in transition defense, while Ionescu controls tempo in half-court sets.
Jonquel Jones vs. Courtney Williams: Jones’ interior scoring will challenge Atlanta’s paint protector Williams, who’s averaging 7.1 rebounds per game.
Rhyne Howard vs. Betnijah Laney: Howard’s off-ball movement against Laney’s perimeter denial will be key in the early quarters.
