Knicks VS Rockets Live Stream: Watch Online Free 8:00 ET Thursday - Houston Could Be Without Harden, Parsons, Maybe Even Lin In NY With Smith In Starting Lineup
Knicks vs Rockets live stream: Watch online free 8:00 ET Thursday as one of the highest scoring teams comes to New York for the first time this season.
The 5-4 Rockets vs 3-4 Knicks will be the first of two meetings. Watch the free live stream online as Houston comes off an overtime loss last night while the Knicks went on the road vs the Hawks in Atlanta and left with a victory.
Houston might be without James Harden again for the second night in a row vs the Knicks on Thursday as New York will most likely keep J.R. Smith in the starting lineup against a team that puts up points against the best of them. Watch the free live stream online to see if Houston can duplicate its offense without Harden again.
The Rockets allowed 123 points last night to a young Philadelphia 76ers team that was without one of its best scorers.
"It was my worst defensive game of the season," Lin said after Philadelphia's starting backcourt combined for 54 points. "Tomorrow has to be my best defensive game of the season."
New York has had times struggling scoring this season. For example, last night they scored 57 in the first half against the Hawks, only to finish with 95 for the game. Lin might look for another monster game against his former team that helped him get the big contract he received with the Rockets.
Carmelo Anthony, who missed that contest due to a sprained left ankle, helped the Knicks bounce back from a 31-point loss to San Antonio on Sunday with a team-high 25 points in Wednesday's 95-91 win at Atlanta.
"Oh, man, it was a great way to kind of get back on track," Anthony said after shooting just 9-of-25 from the field. "Any time you can win on the road, that's always a big win."
