PREGAME READING: Posting and Toasting |
This game will be quite a challenge for the young Wizards. The Knicks are battling for a playoff spot and playing quite well under new coach Mike Woodson. An injury to Amar'e Stoudemire forced the Knicks to go to a small starting lineup with Carmelo Anthony at power forward, and it's worked tremendously well. Iman Shumpert, the guy everyone thought the Knicks drafted by mistake over Chris Singleton, has been impressive. Tyson Chandler is forever underrated, and Baron Davis has been decent since replacing an injured Jeremy Lin.
This will be a tough test for Jan Vesely and Kevin Seraphin. Seraphin going up against Chandler is a massive challenge, while it looks like Vesely will have to check Carmelo Anthony. I'd expect to see lots of small lineups to prevent that from happening too much.
Game's at 7:30. GO WIZARDS!
