The New York Knicks entered 2017 on a down note after losing four straight games and seven of their last ten. They’re sitting at a game under .500 with Monday night’s game against the Orlando Magic next on the schedule.
The Knicks won their first matchup against the Magic this season after big performances from Brandon Jennings and Kyle O’Quinn.
Tonight will be a little different with stars for both teams nursing injuries. Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) for the Knicks and Evan Fournier (Heel) for the Magic.
According to Frank Isola of The New York Daily News, Porzingis is expected to miss his second straight game with a sore Achilles.
