Winner of 10 of their last 12, the Knicks enter Friday night with momentum on their side as they Rockets squad that is looking to close out a short two-game road trip. Feisty court general Jalen Brunson has continued to lead the Knicks offense with 27.0 points and 6.1 assists per game and he is expected to do more of the same although players like Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and Karl-Anthony Towns all need to step up against a Rockets team is really good on the wing.
Currently sitting fourth in a tough Western Conference, the Rockets led by Durant haven’t really reached their full potential this season, especially when you consider how talented their wings are. Explosive forwards Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith Jr. have shown flashes here and there but consistency has been an issue as both have seemingly struggled to maintain high-level production night after night. Turkish center Alperen Sengun who is still getting accustomed to the thick of things since his injury will also be key here for the Rockets as they look to stabilize their presence down low.
Although the Knicks have been pretty inconsistent from downtown as of late, their inside game has been on point lately with Towns and Mitchell Robinson providing a dominant presence down low. Their ability to manufacture offense inside and crash the boards will be crucial here, especially against a Rockets team that tends to rely heavily on their perimeter scoring and can be vulnerable when their inside game isn’t clicking.
