Predicted lineup:
De’Andre Hunter– Forward
John Collins– Forward
Clint Capela– Center
Bogdan Bogdanovic– Guard
Trae Young– Guard
Game prediction:
The Knicks currently have home-court advantage and even stats wise they are not far behind, considering that they lost 1 game already if they come back strong with completely relying on the star players like Julius Randle, Alec Burks, and the one and only D Rose, they should be able to make a 1-1.
