I was honored to speak at a Stanford math class earlier this morning. To @genekim: Thank you so much for the invite. Amazing to see how ambitious your group of students are.

[Gene B. Kim @genebkim]

Today at Stanford Math 77Q, we had the pleasure of a guest lecture from DFS legend @rynpak! The students absolutely loved him and asked great questions.

The New York Knicks have outscored their opponents by 272 points in the past 12 games

That's the best 12-game stretch from any team in NBA history, regular season or playoffs

[Rayen Patnaik @rynpak]

The New York Knickerbockers have gone full 2016-2017 Golden State Warriors in the last month...

Terrence Jones is Glass Half Full Case.

In 2015, Jones suffered a collapsed lung with the Rockets and coincidentally, it occurred March 19. He returned to the starting lineup just seven games later and played well in the playoffs.

Hope for a similar trajectory w/ Cade.

[Rayen Patnaik @rynpak]

Bam Adebayo attempted 43 free throws tonight, breaking Dwight Howard’s record of 39.

He made 36, an all-time NBA single-game record.

A casual 83-piece for Bam tonight.

@Edward__Lewis Wow. Looks empty. Which basket will be used for the 3-Point Contest at the Intuit Dome? Will shooters be facing 'The Wall'?

[NBA on Prime @NBAonPrime]

@MikeClayNFL Thank you!

[Rayen Patnaik @rynpak]

@MikeClayNFL any chance you’ll be sharing the projected box scores for each playoff round again this year? Thank you!

[Rayen Patnaik @rynpak]

@sportsrage Joe Brady would be fun! Won't happen though.
