Fun fact: The Kings are averaging 128 ppg against opponents who rank 15-30 in defensive rating. As stated above, Knicks rank 17th . Now the caveat here is Fox played in those games so we will see if the offense can keep humming IF Fox is out.

Need Huerter to find his shot quickly or this could get ugly.

Seems to be a lid on the bucket right now. Need to step up the defense until the shots start to fall.

Too many turnovers, shots aren't falling, and everyone appears to be playing without energy. Not a good sign.

Badly need Fox's scoring back Tuesday as I can't even imagine the feast Embiid will have against us.

They weren't ready to play. Came out completely flat and they're still trying to find rhythm. This lead isn't insurmountable if they wake up.

Domas dropping some dimes but we just can't hit any jumpers. Get the lead under 10 by the half and we'll still be in this but these shots need to start falling.
