Knicks VS Blazers Tonight 3/14

 Hello there NY Knicks fans.  I am coming to you from my house on this snowy March day and bringing you the latest info on your favorite basketball team.  Heading into tonight's action, the Knicks will try evening up their four-game trip to the West Coast after losses to the Clippers and Kings.  The Knicks were victorious over the Lakers on Sunday.  

Let's dive into some key matchups and factors to watch for at 10 EST.  

The first matchup that I am very intrigued by is Julius Randle and Jerami Grant. This season Randle has averaged 25.3 PPG, while Grant has averaged  20.5 PPG.  Randle is coming off of a 33 point outing sealing the deal in the 112-108 victory at Crypto Arena this past Sunday.  With Grant listed as questionable following a mild quad injury, the Trail Blazers might be looking at a major offensive weapon on the bench tonight.        

The injury factor is certainly worth keeping an eye on, even besides Jerami Grant.  Damian Lillard is listed as questionable due to calf tightness.  Anthony Simons could get the nod if Lillard finds himself sitting tonight.  With Brunson officially listed as doubtful, the Knicks might have to depend on Immanuel Quickley.  IQ has been a spark off the bench for the Knicks, averaging 13.5 points and acting as the best 6-man in the league.   

Given the injury riddled teams, more numbers by both benches tonight would not be surprising.  Brunson's absence would allow IQ to work the floor and possibly open up more minutes for Obi Toppin and Josh Hart.  Hart and Toppin have not performed at the highest level this season but their defense and smart ball movement cannot be overlooked. 

 Let's hope the Knicks can pull out a win tonight.  You can catch the game tonight on MSG starting at 10pm EST.

The New York Knicks Try To Accomplish Something They’ve Only Accomplished Three Times in Franchise History

 

Good afternoon, New York Knicks fans! I am coming to you from my house on this bright and sunny day from Floral Park, New York bringing you all the action from the New York Knicks current nine game-winning streak. The New York Knicks are trying to extend their winning streak to ten games, which would be the most they would have this season. In the current history of the New York Knicks, as far as this reporter knows, they have only accomplished forty wins three times in their franchise history. Off the top of my head, the only season I can recall where the New York Knicks had forty wins was the 2012-2013 NBA Season. This is the year where Carmelo Anthony and Mike Woodson leading the New York Knicks to a 54 win season but, unfortunately they lost to the Indiana Pacers in the second round of the NBA playoffs that year. Hopefully the New York Knicks can ride the good vibes into this year’s playoff. You can catch all of tomorrow’s heart pounding action at 7:30pm from the world’s most famous area. Until next time, let’s go New York! Make it 10 straight games. Bring home a win!
