The New York Knicks are bad. That’s not news. But the Washington Wizards are beaten, broken, and bruised in a big way.
Entering Monday night’s matchup in Madison Square Garden, the Wizards will be missing seven players due to injury and one player (Isaiah Thomas) to suspension.
Still, if there was ever a game that was winnable with an eight-man injury report, this is it. New York is 7-23, only eight games removed from firing their head coach, and still lacking direction. They, like the Wizards, have their own messes to deal with right now.
