The Portland Trail Blazers’ four-game trip continues Friday at the New York Knicks.
New York’s offense ranks in the bottom third of the NBA but guard Jalen Brunson has been hot lately. He had 34 points and nine assists on Monday during a 129-119 win at Oklahoma City after scoring 27 in a 116-95 loss at Phoenix.
Those two games came at the end of a five-game trip against Western Conference teams. The Knicks have not played since Monday, so they should enter Friday’s game well rested.
The Blazers (10-8), who play at Brooklyn on Sunday, would return home with a .500 record if they do not secure at least one win against the Knicks or the Nets.
Portland will be without backup center Drew Eubanks who is out with a left lumbar spasms.
