The New York Knicks will go head to head against Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, March 30 at the Madison Square Garden. The talking point from the Knicks point of view would be whether Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride start against the Blazers or not.
Will Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride start against Portland Trail Blazers?
The New York Knicks have won six of their last ten games ahead of their clash against the Blazers. They are back off a 116-107 win against the Milwaukee Buck on Friday. The key performers from that match for the Knicks were OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges as they scored 31 and 26 points respectively. Karl-Anthony Towns (14 points and 10 rebounds) and Josh Hart (13 points and 14 rebounds) recorded double-doubles.
Jalen Brunson sees his name on the team's injury report as he has missed 11 games on the trot due to an ankle injury. He has been listed out of the game against the Blazers. On Thursday's episode of the Roommates Show, Brunson provided with an update on his rehab.
I’ve been back East since the LA game. I’m feeling better, walking without the boot. Thibs said I’ve impressed recently. I’m just doing everything I can to get back to 100%. Doing things two, three times a day. Just working my way back. For the most part, I’m happy to see the progress with where I’m at, so I think that’s promising.
As Brunson missed games, Miles McBride took over the point guard duties. However, even McBride has been out of the action as he missed last four games due to a groin injury. He too will miss the game against Blazers. The Knicks will be without Cameron Payne as he is recovering from an ankle injury. The team will now rely heavily on Delon Wright and Tyler Kolek.
