POR VS NYK Preview:

On Tuesday, the New York Knicks (40-30) will be playing against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center. The Knicks recently broke a three-game losing streak by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers on the road, which was impressive since the Lakers were performing well at the time. However, Knicks fans should be concerned about Jalen Brunson’s health, as he has been dealing with a foot issue that was aggravated a few days ago. While Immanuel Quickley has been a great replacement, the team won’t reach its full potential until Brunson is healthy.

Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers (31-37) have lost three straight games and are fighting to hold onto their playoff hopes. They are currently ranked 13th in the Western Conference, two games behind the 10th-placed Utah Jazz. The recent slide is concerning, especially after a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans where they trailed by almost 40 points at times. Damian Lillard was also out, and their chances of making the playoffs will be significantly reduced if he continues to miss games. The Knicks and Trail Blazers played an overtime game on November 25, with the Knicks winning 132-129. However, the Trail Blazers have won nine of their last 12 matchups against the Knicks.
