Projected starting lineup and how to watch final Knicks preseason game

We somehow made it to the final New York Knicks preseason game. The offseason felt like it lasted an eternity. It started with a bang when the Knicks traded for Mikal Bridges and ended with another when they traded for Karl-Anthony Towns.

New York has one tune-up before the real fun begins on Oct. 22. The Knicks beat the Wizards in their second preseason game, 117-94. Washington is one of the teams that will compete in the race for Cooper Flagg. There's no denying that the Wizards are tanking. They won only 15 games last season and could win less in 2024-25.

New York rested its starters in Tuesday's preseason win and could do the same tonight. Fans want to see more of the rookies while they can because they won't be in Tom Thibodeau's rotation when the regular season starts.

The Knicks still need to convert two more players to standard contracts, which could make Friday's game more interesting. Landry Shamet was a shoo-in to get a roster spot, but he got hurt against the Hornets. T.J. Warren, Chuma Okeke, or even Marcus Morris Sr. could get a standard contract.
