With two teams moving in opposite directions, Sunday’s clash against the New York Knicks seems like a sure thing on paper. And, though it’s always worth remembering that anyone can win against anyone else in the NBA — especially during a weird early game in a spookily quiet Madison Square Garden — it’s hard to see the Knicks being any good with their laundry list of injuries.
The Knicks’ top three scorers are all injured — including Kristaps Porzingis, the team’s lone bright spot. That leaves Courtney Lee and a bunch of dad-looking dudes to carry the load.
