Knicks Seek Revenge Against Struggling Blazers

The New York Knicks will host the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday at Madison Square Garden. This marks the second meeting this season, with the Knicks having won the previous encounter. The Knicks are currently on a four-game winning streak, propelling them to second place in the Eastern Conference. In contrast, the Trail Blazers are on a three-game losing streak, holding a 23-25 record and ninth place in the Western Conference.

The Knicks boast significant offensive firepower, averaging over 117 points per game with an offensive rating of 118.4, ranking eighth in the league. They are also the second-best rebounding team. The Trail Blazers average 115.5 points per game, with an offensive rating of 113.8, placing them 18th, and are sixth in rebounding.

Key players for both teams are listed as questionable due to injuries. For the Blazers, Deni Avdija and Robert Williams III are uncertain. The Knicks may be without Miles McBride and Josh Hart. Despite potential absences, the Knicks are favored to win due to their home-court advantage and recent performance.
