Hey, it’s a palindrome! Tonight the New York Knicks, with a 32-18 record, will battle the 18-32 Memphis Grizzlies.
It should be a fun night at Madison Square Garden because times are tough for the Tennesseans. On Sunday in Boston, the shorthanded Grizzlies suffered a 40-point defeat. They’re missing 13 guys by my count:

The also-shorthanded Knicks couldn’t withstand a fourth-quarter push by the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. The loss broke a string of nine-consecutive wins for New York, during which the team was led by All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson.
