Brunson still gimpy and listed as questionable. I’m guessing he gets a rest with another btb coming up but Brunson is a tuff mofo and will probably play through the pain as always. Hopefully Kolek is ready to back up Payne and keep Deuce in his off guard role.
Knicks have a home game next but still not done with the road trip. This game screams - give the reserves some run
Knicks have 4th best record in league, give or take

I think now that after having suffered a close call, with a days rest and prep, we crush them tonight. Assuming Brunson plays.
If Brunson doesnt play, who the F knows? We should still crush them - but KAT needs to stay out of foul trouble.

Lol Sarr also out? I thought he came a long way from early in the year / preseason with his play. Had him pegged for total bust, but I see hope now.
Just guard the Champagne man!
JB is getting another 50.
trap games are real. These guys are going to get shots they dont usually see and a chance to show something. A hot shooting first half could put them on ice.

It was a back to back the other night so that explained it being a very close game I expect the Knicks to be better tonight

If they get trapped after seeing what this team was all about on 2 days ago and without having to travel, then same is on them.
I do think the Wizards, by not having Poole and Kuzma, moved the ball more freely and it gave a lot of people like Chamapagnie, Kyshawn George and others free reign to shoot with confidence.

Back to back?, thats on "empty suite" Silver dastardly conspiring with the ghost of Stern to do the knicks Wrong!
Giving us the Wiz back to back is a gift. Can Knicks execute it? Its the NBA, things happen.
Kuzma is unexpectedly back tonight!
3 missed layups, finally get a dunk
Anunoby continues to look bad
