The Knicks have dropped 2 straight, but will get Carmelo Anthony back for this one on Tuesday.
Oklahoma City
The Thunder were certain their winning streak would continue after their trip to the Barclays Center this past weekend.
However, with the help from mother nature, the Thunder weren’t nearly as sharp as they should have been against the Nets. The east coast was hit with a blizzard, forcing the game to be delayed, the Thunder to be stuck in their team hotel for 36 hours, and also caused them to miss shootaround in the morning.

With the storm now gone, the Thunder can move on from the debacle and odd circumstances and get ready to get back into a normal routine.
The loss was just the 5th in 27 games for them as they simply couldn’t get anything going with the exception of the normal two in Durant and Westbrook. Durant finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds, and added 7 assists. Westbrook added 27, 11, and 7, but that was all the Thunder really had going for them.
They never led in the contest and will look to avoid losing back to back games for the first time since November.
New York
The Knicks have fallen back to under .500 with back to back losses to the Clippers and now Charlotte.
New York is 2 games under the breakeven mark, but will get excellent news with Carmelo Anthony returning to the lineup on Tuesday. Anthony has been battling knee soreness, which has caused him to miss time.
Anthony definitely poses problems for the Thunder as he’s had a lot of success against them. The star F has 56 points to help New York win the past 2 meetings. Anthony has averaged 27.1 points per game against the Western Conference foes.
The Knicks will try to find their offense once again as they have struggled to put together solid performances. New York had averaged 112.7 points per game during their 6 game winning streak at home, but have managed just 86.0 points over their last 2 games.
The Knicks will try to avoid losing back to back home games since the end of November.
