The Knicks have enough problems to deal with and now Carmelo Anthony is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s matchup.
New York
The Knicks actually looked to be picking up some steam, but had their 4 game winning streak come to a halt against the Orlando Magic on Monday.
Kristaps Porzingis struggled in the loss as he finished just 3 of 12 from the field and 1 of 6 from behind the 3 point arc. Porzingis continues to struggle over his last 5 as he’s shooting just 28 percent from the field.

The Knicks would not have been to win 4 of their last 5 without the help of Lance Thomas off the bench. Thomas has seen a lot more minutes with Porzingis struggling and has filled the void tremendously.
Thomas went 9 of 9, which includes 3 of 3 from behind the arc, in Monday’s loss. Thomas is averaging over 15 points per game over the last 5.
Carmelo Anthony is listed as day-to-day with a sprained ankle.
Cleveland
The Cavaliers didn’t need any more help as this team has been one of the best.
However, as expected, Kyrie Irving returned on Sunday and now this Cavaliers team is as deep and as talented as ever. With Iman Shumpert also back from a groin injury, this team is right near 100%, but needs Mo Williams to return.
Williams has been battling a finger injury and has missed the last 2 games. He remains QUESTIONABLE for Wednesday.

With the way James has been playing, having 2 more stars back is going to make this team so dangerous. James has averaged 27.6 points per game over the Cavs 5 game winning streak and has shot 54 percent from the field.
Cleveland has already taken 2 games this season from the Knicks as they’ve held them to an average of 85 points in those 2 wins.
