For the game, they could be without one of their best players, as Karl-Anthony Towns is on the injury report. The All-Star forward missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

Karl-Anthony Towns' knee injury is not considered serious and he could be back as soon as tomorrow night against the Raptors, says @IanBegley Ian, @StevePopper, and @Kiingdeej on the latest edition of The Putback with Ian Begley: https://t.co/qDUvjD8ipA pic.twitter.com/F32fjeoxFg

Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart each posted double-doubles Wednesday night for the host New York Knicks, who snapped a three-game losing streak by gradually pulling away from the Toronto Raptors for a 112-98 win.

After a lifeless performance Monday beset with shooting woes while he rested his sort right knee, Towns was back in the lineup and delivering 27 points and 13 rebounds, combining with 27 points from OG Anunoby against his former team, to lead the Knicks past the Toronto Raptors, 112-98.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 25 points and 16 rebounds, Jalen Brunson scored eight points down the stretch and finished with 17 as the New York Knicks beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-95 on Tuesday night. OG Anunoby scored 20 points and Precious Achiuwa had 11 points off the bench as the Knicks won their second straight game.

The Knicks were sluggish, the offense inexplicably disappeared for most of the fourth quarter and they were one Brooklyn shot away from their worst loss of the season.

In a tightly-contested Tuesday matchup, the New York Knicks took down its crosstown rival Nets, 99-95. New York has been fueled by its core four of Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby,
