Knicks will be working out two rival big men

The rematch will occur at the Knicks’ Tarrytown compound Wednesday.

In March, Iowa State forward Deonte Burton and Purdue’s Caleb Swanigan staged a battle royale in the NCAA Tournament’s second round. Burton outscored Swanigan 25-20, but Purdue prevailed to advance to the Sweet 16. Burton and Swanigan, the Big Ten Player of the Year, will work out for the Knicks, who have two second-round picks in next month’s draft at Nos. 44 and 58.

“I thought [Burton] lit him up,’’ Iowa State special assistant to the head coach Dave Hobbs told The Post.

Swanigan is deciding whether to stay in the draft as he hasn’t hired an agent.
