Donte DiVincenzo listed as questionable for tonight's game. Hartenstein's also not playing. Knicks probably gonna end 0-4 in the last four games before the break. And i'm cool with that. Let the guys rest and have them ready to go on the 22nd. We have a deep bench with loads of guys that had barely touched the ball. Setup a lineup of McBride, Burks, Bogdanovic, Achiuwa and Sims. Have Brown, Toppin, Taj come off the bench. Allow Brunson, Hart and DiVincenzo to rest and perform when more of our starters are recovered.

Achuwa's 18 pts, 12 rebs, and 3 Dimes are the Knicks MVP player so far in the game.

Our 8 man rotation cant mess with the Magics 9 man rotation, all 4 of the Magics bench players are close to scoring double digits.
Last night the Magic played a 10 man rotation on OKC, but OKC won using a 11 man rotation

That guy Banchero is 21 yrs old, scoring 36 points on us tonight in 34 minutes, shooting 15-20 FG, and 6-10 from 3's, plus grabbing 7 rebounds, handed out 5 Dimes

Our high scorer Brunson scored 33 points on 11-21 FG, 5-8 from 3's, plus 2 steals, and 6 Dimes.
The Magic rotation was to much for us tonight, outscoring on the Knicks in each of the last 3 quarters.
From the start of the 2nd quarter the Knicks performance were like they played a game last night.
