Tonight marks the final game of a three-game road trip for the Knicks (0-2 so far).
However, after returning home for Tuesday’s game against the Spurs, they embark on yet another three-game road trip.
The Knicks have struggled on the road this season (2-12) but New Orleans hasn’t been great at home either (9-8).
Kristaps Porzingis has not been the same player that dominated the league over the first quarter of the season since returning from a knee injury.
In the five games since, he’s averaging 18.6 points and shooting 34.4% from the field and 27.3% from three.
The nickname for the Pelicans’ dynamic frontcourt duo of Anthony Davis and Demarcus Cousins.
The two big men are averaging a combined 51.8 points, 22.6 rebounds, and 3.57 blocks.
Kristaps Porzingis and Enes Kanter will have their hands full with them tonight.
Coach Jeff Hornacek says he is trying to ramp up the Knicks’ 3-point shooting, as the team ranks last in the NBA in both 3-point attempts (21.6) and made 3-pointers (7.8).
Tonight could be as good a night as any to start.
The Pelicans allow 11.9 threes per game, tied for most in the league, and in their last two games have allowed 22 and 19.
