The Knicks on a back-to-back and despite the recent success, they haven't really been tested yet.

They need to stay healthy and need better play from Yabusele, but they may be the best team in the East (depending on how you feel about the Cavs and Pistons).

Same for the Cavs tonight.

Players who are confirmed out.

Garland (toe)
Mitchell (rest)
Mobley (rest)
Strus (foot)
Tyson (concussion)

Then Nance Jr (knee) is questionable.

Oh, also not on the injury report but Allen playing through a broken finger so his minutes will probably be limited.

Thunder on a b2b without Dort and Wiggins. Should be winnable game which means we will probably lose.

Clippers' disastrous season continues. A hip fracture for a guy who will be 33 years-old next Summer could honestly be career-threatening. Hope it's not and he makes a full return, but that's a bad injury and could have serious lingering effects the rest of his career.

Reminder that OKC owns the Clippers' 2026 First Round Pick unprotected (1 of OKC's 4 FRP's this season :o )

I thought firing Thibodeau is a dumb move for the Knicks but Brown has been doing a good job so far, it will be hard for my Magic to pull off a win at Madison Square Garden since it is a tough arena to play at, but I am hoping for another competitive game

National TV game?

Expect a loss for us. Even if we had the 72 wins Bulls lineup and the Knicks playing only 5 guys, you expect us to crap the bed on National TV games

Lebron is in GLeague and Bronny is in the NBA. This is some kind of multiverse type of movie :o

Shout out to the Knicks for playing all their guys tonight on the 2nd night of a b2b. Uncharted territory these days.
