The New York Knicks are at home at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night as they face off against the struggling Philadelphia 76ers.
New York enters Tuesday's contest amid a two-game winning streak and they have also won six of their last 10 games.
They will now look to extend their winning streak to three games as they host a 76ers team that has lost eight consecutive games and nine of their last 10 contests.
Unfortunately for the Knicks, they may be without two of their star players in Tuesday's game as they have listed both Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns on their injury report.
Of course, the Knicks have ruled out Brunson as he continues to recover from an ankle sprain that has kept him sidelined since March 6.
New York also added Towns to their injury report as they have listed him as questionable due to knee soreness. The star center is in danger of missing his first game since March 4 against the Golden State Warriors, which would be a massive blow for the Knicks.
KAT has been added to the injury report as questionable for tonight's game against Philly.

If Towns is sidelined on Tuesday, Mitchell Robinson should replace him in the starting lineup and Precious Achiuwa should see an increased role off the bench.
The Knicks have also ruled out Miles McBride due to a groin injury and Cameron Payne due to an ankle injury, which has left their backcourt extremely shorthanded.
On the other side, the 76ers will be without multiple key players as their roster has been decimated by injuries this season.
