- Knicks logged 103.1 possessions and 94.1 ORTG in their only 2026 preseason game; Wizards carry 104.4 pace and 108.2 ORTG from 2025 regular season.
- Wizards are the slight tempo dictator: 104.4 last-season pace and 104.3 in 2025 preseason versus New York's 103.1 current pace.
- Blending each offense with the opponent's defense produces roughly 219 total points versus the exact 227.5 rung.
- Alex Sarr is a game-time decision with a foot injury; the unresolved rotation question makes the roughly 8-point projection gap suspect and caps this at LEAN.
