Kristaps Porzingis fared well against a fellow top rookie in the New York Knicks' last game and his team came away with a victory.
He'll face another high 2015 draft pick Friday night in the Philadelphia 76ers' Jahlil Okafor, who missed what would have been their first regular-season meeting due to a suspension -- the result of off-court behavior that has Porzingis looking like the better pick at the moment.
The Knicks go for their third straight victory when they visit a woeful 76ers club that's dropped eight in a row overall and 10 of 11 at home on the season.
