Let’s take a look at the injuries that may affect the game.

Injury Report

Houston Rockets: Ryan Anderson has been dealing with an illness, however, he is expected to play tonight.

Eric Gordon was sidelined on Wednesday with a calf injury.  He did return to practice yesterday, therefore, it can be assumed that he should be available tonight. Gordon will more than likely play but limited minutes.

New York Knicks: Enes Kanter is still questionable for tonight’s game. He has been suffering from back spasms that also kept him out of last night’s game. Kanter is more than likely out for the night.

Kanter being out is a big loss for the Knicks.

Joakim Noah is also out for the Knicks with an illness. He did not travel with the team for their two-game road trip.

Who will take the floor first tonight?

Projected Starters

Houston Rockets: 

F – Ryan Anderson

F – Trevor Ariza

G – James Harden

G – Chris Paul

C – Clint Capela

New York Knicks: 

G- Jarrett Jack

G- Courtney Lee

F – Tim Hardaway Jr.

F – Kristaps Porzingis

C – Kyle O’Quinn

So, could the score be even higher tonight with CP3 back and Kanter out?

CP3 has really been an asset for the Houston Rockets out on the court since he has returned.  While Kanter has been a huge contributor to the Knicks especially since he leads the team in rebounds and field goal percentage.
