Landry Shamet

Hart may get a rest day on the second leg of New York's back-to-back set, and with Miles McBride (ankle) already ruled out, more minutes could be available for Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet.

It is the biggest weakness on their roster Mikal Bridges has struggled in the role, allowing ball-handlers to break down their defense, get into the lane and hurt them.

On a day when Mikal Bridges (9/3/4 with one three-pointer) and Miles McBride (9/1/2/2 with one three-pointer) combined to shoot 2-of-17 from beyond the arc, Shamet gave the Knicks excellent minutes off the bench. This is the first time he's reached double figures in consecutive games since returning from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for 25 games. Shamet isn't worth rostering when the Knicks are whole, but the last two games were a step in the right direction.

Landry Shamet made his return just over a week ago after missing 25 games due to a shoulder injury, and he s already reminded the Knicks why he was missed.

The New York Knicks broke a four-game losing streak without breaking a sweat, crushing the Brooklyn Nets 120-66 on Wednesday night in the most lopsided victory in franchise history. Jalen Brunson scored 20 points and Landry Shamet was 6 for 6 on 3-pointers and added 18 for the Knicks, who led by as much as 59 points before the 54-point victory that surpassed the previous largest victory margin of 48 points. The Knicks had lost nine of their last 11 games so this was a good time to play Brooklyn, because they never lose to the Nets these days.
