The New York Knicks will take on the Miami Heat for the first time this season. The Knicks announced that Carmelo Anthony would miss the next two games to rest from his injuries. This is a huge lost for the Knicks who face two good teams these two days. The Heat will be without Dwyane Wade who is out with a ankle injury. Both teams have injured stars, but the Heat still have LeBron James and Chris Bosh. The Knicks will have to hope for a bad game from both of them if they want a win.
This is a big game for the Knicks who simply can’t afford any
more losses in secession. Amare Stoudemire will have to have a huge night and get help from the rest of the team. Stoudemire has played well the last two games and hopes to continue that success tonight.
Iman Shumpert needs to have a better performance on both sides of the ball tonight. Shumpert has struggled the last week with finding consistent scoring. He needs to find a way to get some assists tonight. Hopefully with Anthony out Shumpert get the tempo up and get some quicker scores. He does have and advantage on the defensive end that he needs to capitalize on.
The last and finally key to the Knicks winning this game is bench production. The Knicks need their bench to come out and be aggressive. They need to play defense and score the ball. This team has lacked a consistent bench for a while now. This is the game the bench needs to prove that they can be great.
This game can be watched on MSG or ESPN. Let’s go Knicks!
