The New York Knicks enter Friday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets looking to improve on a four-game win streak.
Brooklyn on the other hand, has lost five straight and are hoping to avoid a sweep in the season series between the two squads (NYK leads 3-0).
However, both teams are dealing with injuries to high-profile contributors.
The Knicks will be without Miles McBride who continues to rehab from a pelvic injury.
They'll also be without Josh Hart who's sidelined with a knee injury.
Karl-Anthony Towns has been added to New York's injury report as well, with the big man being listed as questionable due to personal reasons.
That said, Jalen Brunson will return after missing the Knicks' last game versus Indiana.
As for the Nets, they'll be without Michael Porter Jr. who was recently diagnosed with a hamstring strain.
Day'Ron Sharpe and rookie Egor Demin have been ruled out for the rest of the season.
Additionally, the Nets will be without Noah Clowney due to a wrist injury and Terance Mann who's dealing with an illness.
That leaves Nic Claxton as the only healthy Nets player averaging more than 10 points (11.9), as Brooklyn could be in for another blowout loss, after their recent 29-point defeat to the Thunder.
Following Friday's game, the Knicks will return home to host the Wizards Sunday.
For Brooklyn, they'll embark on a four-game West Coast road trip beginning Sunday against Sacramento.
