New York Knicks Vs. Houston Rockets Jan. 28 Game Preview: A Fan’s Outlook

The New York Knicks lost to the Miami Heat on Friday night (Jan. 27), despite hitting 18 three-pointers in the game. Now the team has to travel to play the Houston Rockets in the second game of this short road trip. This is a Houston team that can get up and down the floor pretty quickly and will become a defensive nightmare for the Knicks.

Houston is 11-8 on the season and has one of the best point guards in the league running the team. Kyle Lowry is averaging 15.5 points, 8.5 assists and 6.8 rebounds a game and seems destined to make the Western Conference All-Star team. He is doing a great job at setting up teammates Kevin Martin and Luis Scola for success and the team has been playing very well when he is on. Samuel Dalembert is the new center and he could present a pretty big challenge for Tyson Chandler to stop (no pun intended). The leading scorers are Martin with 20.1 points per game and Scola with 15.6 a night
