The Knicks take on the Rockets tonight at home, hoping to get some mojo back and shake off three straight losses.

Randle scored 35 against Houston in the last matchup and it would be great to see him calm down and get back to having the incredible season he was having up until the last few games. Brunson is questionable tonight with a hand injury and while I do think the Knicks are much better than the Rockets even without him, it causes some concern that the Knicks could struggle against a dynamic Rockets team with some exciting scoring options in Green and KPJ. Randle losing control of his emotions brings back eerie memories of last season, where he was constantly combative and not in the right headspace to perform. The Knicks (42-33) have been faltering as of late, losing three in a row to the Magic, Heat, and Timberwolves, all teams with worse records than the ‘Bockers. Silas has had contentious press conferences in which he called out players for lack of effort, and is obviously frustrated with their futility this season. Stephen Silas’ team has had an atrocious season in every sense of the word, despite having some interesting young talent in Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr., and Kevin Porter Junior.
