The New York Knicks' two-game road trip will begin in Memphis on Friday, almost a month after their first meeting at MSG.
The Knicks cruised to a 143-106 win over the Grizzlies on Jan. 27. If you can't recall, Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. both played. Mikal Bridges, who had 19 first-quarter points in Wednesday's win against the Sixers, scored a game-high 28 points on 12-of-19 shooting. He was one of seven New York players to score in double digits.
The Grizzlies are coming off a high-scoring game themselves, a 151-148 overtime win over the Suns on Tuesday. Desmond Bane (25), Jackson (28), and Morant (29) combined for 82 points.
Memphis is the No. 2 team in the West, but the Nuggets, Lakers, and Rockets are on their heels. You can bet January's loss will be on their minds tonight for some added motivation.
Mitchell Robinson's status for tonight's game vs. Grizzlies
Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is listed as questionable for the first time this season. The Knicks especially need him now after Thursday's unfortunate injury news.
Karl-Anthony Towns' status for tonight's game vs. Grizzlies
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as questionable. He didn't play on Wednesday.
Knicks injury report
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Josh Hart (knee), and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) are questionable. Ariel Hukporti (knee) is out. ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Thursday that Hukporti suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee on Wednesday and will be out for four to six weeks.

Desmond Bane (groin) is questionable. Zyon Pullin (knee) is out.
Projected starting lineups tonight
