The New York Knicks' five-game winning streak ended on Saturday when LeBron James and the (pre-Luka Doncic trade) Lakers visited MSG. New York has one more game on its Western Conference homestand on Monday against the 32-16 Rockets.
Houston is on a two-game losing streak, with its most recent loss coming on Saturday in Brooklyn. Every Nets starter scored in double digits, while Fred VanVleet (three points) and Amen Thompson (eight points) combined for 11 points. The former will miss Monday's game.
The Knicks could be without one of their starters, too. OG Anunoby left Saturday's loss to LA with a non-contact injury. Fans automatically assumed the worst, but he's listed as questionable for the game against Houston. Don't be surprised if he misses a few games, even though he's questionable. The last thing New York needs is for the injury to become more serious.
