RJ Barrett will be a marked man when the New York Knicks host the Philadelphia 76ers Saturday night in their home opener at a fan-less Madison Square Garden.
But with or without fans, Barrett is ready to protect homecourt in The Garden, which he called “the best place to play basketball.”
Barrett is off to a solid start, leading the Knicks with 26 points on an efficient 11-of-15 shooting in a losing effort in Indiana.
