The New York Knicks open up their preseason schedule Tuesday night with a game against the Houston Rockets. With Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis being joined by a host of newcomers including former Chicago Bulls Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, and led by a new head coach in Jeff Hornacek, the Knicks will have a much different look in 2016-17. Houston is looking to pick up its second win of the preseason, as they opened with a 131-94 win over the Shanghai Sharks Sunday night.
The game is scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and will be televised on ESPN. Not going to be near a television for the game? That’s OK, as there are multiple options when it comes to watching the game online.
