Knicks' Week Preview: November 17-23, 2024
Today at 11:00 AM
The Knicks play a back-to-back at home and then hit the road to start a five-game trip. Should win all four this week!
The New York Knicks will play two more games at home—today and tomorrow versus Nets and Wiz—then start a swing through the West. Here's the schedule:
Knicks vs. Nets, 7 pm ET, Sunday, November 17
This is the second game of a two-game series, with the Knicks winning the first game 124-122 on Friday night. The Knicks nearly blew a big lead in the last game but won on Brunson's late three-pointer and a Mikal Bridges chase-down block. The Knicks will look to continue their recent dominance over the Nets, while Brooklyn will seek their revenge. Read all about it.
Knicks vs. Wizards, 7:30 pm ET, Monday, November 18
The New York Knicks will face the Washington Wizards at MSG in the second of a back-to-back. Washington is a terrible shooting team but not ashamed to let the rock fly–and often. The fast-paced 'Zards are led by Jordan Poole (22.2 points per game), Kyle Kuzma (17.2), and Bilal Coulibaly, a promising young talent, averaging 14.7 points and contributing on multiple fronts. The first of two games against cellar-dwellers this week.
Knicks at Suns, 10 pm ET, Wednesday, November 20
The New York Knicks will face the Phoenix Suns at Footprint Center in Phoenix on Wednesday. The slow-footed Suns come into the game with a strong record of 9-5 (as of this writing). This matchup will feature the Suns' star trio of Devin Booker (22.5 PPG) and Bradley Beal (17.8), who are still figuring out their chemistry. Kevin Durant (27.6 PPG) will miss the game with a calf strain. Phoenix sits squarely in the middle of the NBA pack for offensive and defensive ratings. The first of a five-game road trip, this should be a winnable game for the visitors.
Knicks at Jazz, 5 pm ET, Saturday, November 23
The New York Knicks will visit the Vivint Arena on Saturday to face the Utah Jazz. The lowly Jazz currently sit at the bottom of the Western Conference and hold near-worst ratings for offense and defense. If the road-trippin' Knicks practice smart self-care, they will pack on a big lead early and rest the main guys through the second half. If they aren't, Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart will still be playing with two minutes to go.
Enjoy your weekend. Go Knicks.
