It\u2019s a battle for third place in the east, and while the oddsmakers favor New York, you\u2019d be justified to have concerns. It\u2019s the second night of a back-to-back for the \u2018Bockers, who had trouble knocking off the Kings last night. Now, facing a surging Immanuel (still love him) Quickley, our fatigued heroes will be shorthanded, to boot. Mitchell Robinson was key to their victory yesterday, but he and Miles McBride will sit out this one. Possibly Jalen Brunson (Questionable, illness) and Josh Hart (GTD, ankle), too. Will the remaining Knicks show up and deliver when it counts, securing third place and a 3-0 lead in the season series?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Tip off is 7:30 p.m. EST on MSG.
