After snapping their three-game losing streak on Sunday night against the Lakers, the New York Knicks will look to end their road trip with another win on Tuesday in Portland. There’s a chance that both teams could be without their star players.
Led by Julius Randle, New York snapped LA’s three-game winning streak, 112-108. After one of Randle’s worst performances of the season against the Clippers on Saturday, the Knicks needed the All-Star forward to have a bounce-back game against his former team. He finished with 33 points (11-of-24), eight rebounds, and five assists in 36 minutes.
Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers have lost three straight. With no Damian Lillard (calf tightness) on Sunday, Portland was routed by Trey Murphy and New Orleans, 127-110.
Fans of both teams are wondering whether their star point guards will be in action on Tuesday in Portland.
