The New York Knicks lost all four of their 2014-15 meetings with the Brooklyn Nets last season. The New York Knicks also didn’t have Kristaps Porzingis last season.
The rookie sensation has been dubbed “magical” by Phil Jackson and head coach Derek Fisher added, “We obviously felt very strongly about drafting him at No. 4, we liked a lot of things about him and thought he would be a great selection.”
While it would be easy for Porzingas and the Knicks to look by Brooklyn and its 5-13 record, this won’t be an easy Nets team to match up against. The squad has won consecutive games for the first time since April and is set to start a nine-game stretch in New York. In fact, tonight marks the Nets only “road” game.
It’s time to fight for city-wide bragging rights.
Tip-off for the game is slated for 7 p.m. ET and will be nationally broadcast on ESPN. Don’t worry if you’re not near a TV screen tonight, here’s how to watch the matchup online and on mobile, including a free option:
