Knicks Look To Bounce Back At Home
The New York Knicks play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder at Madison Square Garden on Sunday evening.

The Knicks (44-29) saw a three-game win streak come to an end in their last game, despite an incredible, 61-point performance by Jalen Brunson. Brunson has been on a tear lately, averaging 31.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 0.9 steals across the last 10 games, and he must continue to step up to carry his shorthanded squad. Josh Hart continues to provide a well-rounded contribution, averaging 7.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists over the last five outings. Miles McBride is also playing well, averaging 17.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.6 steals over the same span. The Knicks hope to bounce back from their recent loss as they return home with the opportunity to add to their, 24-13, home record. Alec Burks (shoulder) and Isaiah Hartenstein (wrist) are listed as probable for action. Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is listed as questionable, while Julius Randle (shoulder) and OG Anunoby (elbow) remain out.

Meanwhile, the Thunder (51-22) have won two of their last three games and look to stay on track as. they kick off a five-game road trip with the chance to improve on their, 22-14, road record. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) has missed the last two games and remains doubtful for action on Sunday. Josh Giddey has done a good job of stepping up going over 20 points in the last three consecutive games, while averaging 26.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists over that span. Jalen Williams also continues to play well, averaging 20.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks over the last five outings. Chet Holmgren averages 16.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.4 blocks, while Luguentz Dort is averaging 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game.
