The New York Knicks are set to face the Brooklyn Nets at Madison Square Garden, but they may be without All-Star forward Karl-Anthony Towns due to a left knee contusion. Towns has been a standout player, averaging impressive stats in his first season with the Knicks after being traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Knicks currently hold a 5-6 record, ranking them fourth in the Eastern Conference, while the Nets sit at 5-7, placing them eighth.
