Blazers @ Knicks: MSG 730pm
Happy New Year Knickswag readers, Amar’e Stoudemire is back! The Knicks host the Blazers at MSG after three days of rest and some much needed practice. STAT will be coming off the bench and Carmelo Anthony is a game time decision. Tyson Chandler and Jason Kidd did not practice in those three days but both are expected back on Tuesday as Chandler suffered a sprained ankle on Friday in the loss at Sacramento and Kidd needed some rest.

Don't be fooled by New York's record
The New York Knicks are 21-10, sitting pretty in the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, enjoying a season in which Carmelo Anthony is an MVP candidate and his team is viewed widely as just a Miami Heat injury away from a shot at the NBA Finals.
They are also, thanks to the wide gulf between the two conferences and a statistical anomaly that's unlikely to last, an utter illusion...

Tim Duncan and Carmelo Anthony, power forwards for their teams, will be the matchup when the San Antonio Spurs face the New York Knicks.
The two men probably won't guard each other with their coaches possibly switching their centers (Tiago Splitter for S.A. and Tyson Chandler for N.Y.), but they'll have plenty to do with how the other performs this game.
