The Portland Trailblazers believe it or not as we go to press are in a three-way tied for the west lead an those three teams not one of them are the Golden State Warriors. The Blazers are joined by the L.A. Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies of all teams as we are not even 25% of the way through the 82-game trek.
Tonight's game at the World's Most Famous Arena M.S.G the home team the New York Knicks will have their hands full vs the visiting Blazers. New York might not see another back court duo like they will see in Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. Yes the strengths for the Knicks are in the back court with "Bloodline" Tim Hardaway Jr. and undrafted Free Agent Alonzo Trier dba "Iso Zo"!
New York is still without the "Unicorn" in Kristaps Porzingis and until then the front court play has been going through Enes Kanter. The Blazers have a one of the better "Bigs" in Jusuf Nurkic and the game will be won on which team controls the painted-area and if the Knicks can slow down Dame and C.J..

PLAYBOOK
Dame and C.J. come off of putting up a combined 65 points on #DCFamily and the Knicks are well aware of the capabilities of these two...can Team Fizz slow them down not necessarily contain them?
"Bloodline" Hardaway Jr. and "Iso" Zo cannot be under the impression they have to match Dame and C.J. offensively as the concentration is more on the defensive end. Having said that the Knicks need a #3 and #4 Scorer and Knox and Kanter must be productive in order #NewYorkForever to beat #BlazerMania...
the Money Ball vs "Points in around the Paint" who wins this battle?
Nurkic vs Robinson in one of the more intriguing match ups it will be Nurkic's big body against the ultra-athletic Robinson and something has to give...
Stotts vs Fizdale...better than you think!
Who will be court side as Dame and C.J. are a draw and if all else fails there are the Knicks Dancers one of the best dance teams on the globe...
