Knicks · Knicks vs. Wizards @ home in MSG (7:30 PM Game Thread). It's GAME DAY and it's the RETURN of R.J. Barrett and Obi Toppin! (page 1)

Knicks = 2.0 games back of Washington (in the standings) @ 14-17.

Looking for back to back wins here while also getting exactly 1.0 games back of Washington.

I could be wrong, but believe so;

because all 3 of R.J. Barrett, Quentin Grimes and Kevin Knox are all listed as Game Time Decisions.

(And all 3 are listed in GREEN; which means they are PROBABLE....

Those guys are just guessing. Knicks/WOJ would let us know if anyone outside of Obi were available.

Trae Young.
Clint Capela.
Gallo.
Lou Williams.
Kevin Huerter.
De'Andre Hunter.

Are all ruled out for tonight's game @ Philadelphia and I'm loving it because Trae Young and Atlanta are beginning to become hated as I once hated Reggie Miller and his Pacers.

Another team depleted right now are the 19-13 Miami Heat. And not just because of Covid either but because Bam Adebayo just underwent surgery and will miss at least the next 4-6 weeks and imo Miami becomes a tank team without Bam @ Center (they just lost to DETROIT the other night without Bam) and imo will fall below .500 sooner rather than later.

I don't think they're just guessing man. Rottowire is pretty damn accurate in regards to lineups, injuries and availability.

Let's see if Rob can have a second straight strong game. Harrell has always given him problems.

Getting Obi back is great! We should see a lot of him with Noel out.

Yes, they are guessing. Literally informed guessing. The protocol rule is such that if you are positive, you need to sit out 10 days and clear 2 PCR tests 24 hours apart.

They can guess at when the 10 day window starts and that's it and then give the Maybe indication you are seeing. They don't have any extra special insight to the results of the 2 PCR test results OR when the 10 day period actually commenced (cause you also have to be clear of fever for 24 hours I think).

So they are guessing at a day or 2 window after the 10 day and assuming the PCR test results.

Maybe its just me but I would rather play the Hawks at full strength which would be a better measuring stick for us rather than beating their G league team.

Told you Mr. Martin.

NBA RotoWire is amazingly accurate in regards to lineups, injuries and availability.

😁

I’d take this like I’m fighting for my basketball life. At home Rose out maybe for season Barrett back

We gotta show up and get to -2 going to -4 again is not what we want to do here.
