Knicks Look To Build Momentum At Home
The New York Knicks play host to the Brooklyn Nets at Madison Square Garden on Sunday evening.

The Knicks (12-34) have dropped eight of their last 10 games, including their last two in a row. This marks their third and final game of a home stand, as they look to snap a four-game home losing streak and build on their 6-17 home record. The Knicks average 104.2 points per game, which is third fewest in the league, and they are allowing their opponents to score an average of 112.1 points per game. The Knicks average a league-best 12.0 offensive rebounds per game. Marcus Morris Sr. averages a team-high 19.1 points per game. Julius Randle is averaging 18.9 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. Mitchell Robinson is average 6.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals, over the last 10 games. Elfrid Payton has been playing well, averaging 10.0 points, 6.3 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals, over the last 10 games. R.J. Barrett (ankle) remains sidelined.

Meanwhile, this marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Nets (19-25), as they are coming off an overtime win in Detroit, where they outscored the hosts by 10 points in the extra period, to secure the road win. Prior to Saturday's win, the Nets had lost six straight on the road, as they look to build on their 8-13 road record. Kyrie Irving led the Nets with 45 points, six rebounds and seven assists, on Saturday, and has been playing well since returning to action. Jarrett Allen added 20 points and 15 rebounds, while Joe Harris chipped in 16 points and six rebounds, in Saturday's win. DeAndre Jordan (finger) has missed the last four games and remains doubtful for Sunday. The Nets are averaging 15.4 turnovers per game, which is third most in the league. They average 12.5 threes per game and are shooting an average of 33.6 from long range, which is third worst in the league.
