The New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets will clash for a New York showdown from Madison Square Garden.
New York begins the contest with a record of 5-6. The season has been disappointing for the Knicks thus far. New York came into the season as one of the betting favorites to win the East.
The Knicks still believe they are capable of winning the East despite the sluggish start. Last season, New York won its opening playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, but their season ended in round two against the Indiana Pacers.
From a talent standpoint, New York is good enough to win a Championship. The question for the Knicks is, can they stay healthy and step up in big games?

Jalen Brunson has been outstanding, with 24.3 points and a team-leading 6.5 assists.
OG Anunoby has added 16.2 points and 5.0 rebounds.
Brooklyn starts play with a record of 5-7. The Nets entered the season with reasonably low expectations.

Former LSU star Cam Thomas leads the offense with 23.8 points per game.
Veteran Dennis Schroder has been solid, with 19.3 points and 5.9 assists.
