The Houston Rockets visit the New York Knicks on Thursday. Tipoff is at 8 p.m. ET. See below for live stream and radio broadcast information.
Things haven't been easy for New York. With Tyson Chandler out for at least four to six weeks and both Kenyon Martin and Amar'e Stoudemire facing minute-restrictions, the burden to win games has fallen solely onto the shoulders of Carmelo Anthony.
New York (3-4) responded to a blowout from the San Antonio Spurs with a 95-91 win on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.
"Oh, man, it was a great way to kind of get back on track," Anthony said of the victory, via ESPN. "Any time you can win on the road, that's always a big win."
There's even more pressure to win from the Knicks outspoken owner, James Dolan. After making Dolan's guarantee come true on Wednesday, the Knicks are looking to make a miserable second homecoming for Rockets guard Jeremy Lin.
Lin had a forgettable first year with Houston last year, and he was demoted from the starting rotation at the start of the season. In the last two games, however, "Linsanity" has had a resurgence to the tune of 65 points on 20-of-36 shooting.
James Harden, who missed last night's loss to Philadelphia with foot injuries, is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday. With Chandler out, center Dwight Howard should also have an easier outing in the paint - the All-Star is already averaging 14.9 rebounds per game.
