Opening 2020, the New York Knicks will face the Portland Trail Blazers at home. Expect a red-hot Madison Square Garden crowd, who will welcome a team on a two-game winning streak and be ready for another interesting 48 minutes of basketball.
After David Fizdale’s departure, the Knicks finished 2019 at 5-6. While still a losing record, it marked an improvement over the four wins prior and zero winning streaks, which New York already has two of under interim coach Mike Miller.
The most recent win came against the depleted Washington Wizards, who were missing Bradley Beal and a chunk of the roster due to injury.
