The Knicks (3-2), fresh off a 128-98 drubbing of the Detroit Pistons, look to extend their win-streak to three games. Meanwhile, the Rockets (3-3) aim to bounce back after Saturday’s hard-fought 127-121 overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors, where they overcame a 31-point deficit before falling short in OT. The point guard battle between Jalen Brunson, averaging 25.4 points per game, and Houston’s veteran Fred VanVleet should be exciting to watch. In the frontcourt, Karl-Anthony Towns, with averages of 22 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists per game, will square off with Alperen Sengun, who is putting up a 15-point, 12-board double-double.
