The read
New York returns to Madison Square Garden at 2-4, with a 1-2 home record and a 1-2 road record. The 93-98 loss in Philadelphia interrupted wins over Detroit and Chicago. Jalen Brunson scored 38 in the 133-127 win over the Bulls, then gave the Knicks a late lead in Philadelphia that they could not protect.
Mike Brown's projected starters are Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns supplied 27 points and 20 rebounds against Detroit. The roster also includes Andre Drummond, Jordan Clarkson, Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek.
Kolek began the season outside Brown's usual rotation. He has since received playing time while Jose Alvarado has been unavailable. Alvarado is questionable with a left ankle sprain, and the latest official report lists no other Knicks absence.
James Wiseman signed an Exhibit 9 contract before the season. New York also paused extension discussions before opening night; Towns, Hart, McBride and Kolek were eligible. Tonight brings a home game against 1-5 Brooklyn at 6:30 p.m. CT. Brooklyn had not submitted its latest injury report, leaving its availability and projected lineup unsettled.
