The Portland Trail Blazers have been playing very well as of late. They have picked up wins over the Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers, and Golden State Warriors during the past two weeks.
Recently, Jusuf Nurkic has been nothing short of amazing. He is averaging 23.7 points, 15.3 rebounds, 2.7 steals, and 2 blocks over the past three games. Nurkic should put up a nice stat line tonight against the Knicks. The Knicks are ranked 29th in the NBA in defensive rating, and Enes Kanter has been inconsistent statistically.
The Knicks are only 10-29 this season, and they have lost 9 out of their last 10 games.
