Is James Harden playing tonight? Latest update for Knicks vs Clippers Nov. 6
After two much-needed days off, the New York Knicks are looking to snap their two-game losing streak on Monday. The Clippers are in town, and after being traded to LA last week, James Harden is set to make his debut at MSG.
The Clippers are 3-2 to start the season, with losses against the Jazz on Oct. 27 (120-118) and against the Lakers (130-125) on Nov. 1. Since losing to the Lakers, the Clippers haven’t played. LA is entering the game against New York with four days of rest.
Harden has yet to play in 2023-24, so Monday will also be his season debut. The game won’t be nationally televised, but it’ll still draw a lot of attention with NBA fans interested in seeing the new-look Clippers squad. Will New York be able to spoil Harden’s debut?
