MIAMI — When Jordan Clarkson signed on with the Knicks the priority might have been his ability to provide instant offense off the bench. And that he’s done. But in shifting from a Utah Jazz squad focused more on the NBA Draft than the playoffs to the Knicks, a team with championship aspirations, there is something more that he’s being asked.

Clarkson’s value dipped so low that the Jazz were forced to buy out his contract, rather than recoup assets in a trade. Now he’s with the Knicks — a team with legitimate aspirations of advancing to the NBA Finals — and Clarkson entered Monday’s game against the Heat shooting 39 percent on 3-pointers and 47 percent overall.

In Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks, Julius Randle led the way for the Timberwolves as he recorded 32 points, five rebounds and four assists while Donte DiVincenzo added 21 points, three rebounds and four assists of his own.

Jalen Brunson picked up an injury during the New York Knicks’ loss to the Orlando Magic, and it could have big implications for Mike Brown. They’re still in third place in the East at 7-4, but consistency has been hard to find early on.

After forgetting to put on his jersey to start the game, Keyonte George flipped the script and hit the game-winning 3.

Cade Cunningham scored 19 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter as the Detroit Pistons won their fourth straight, beating the Utah Jazz 114-103 on Wednesday night.
