Game Preview: Knicks vs. Grizzlies, Nov. 11, 2025
The New York Knicks (6–3) are on a winning streak and are set to host the Memphis Grizzlies (4–7) at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, aiming for a fifth consecutive victory. The Grizzlies arrive with several key players injured, including Ty Jerome (calf), Brandon Clarke (knee), Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe), and Zach Edey (ankle), forcing coach Tuomas Iisalo to adjust his lineup. Memphis has lost three of its last four games, most recently a 114–100 defeat to the Thunder, where they shot 39% from the field.
Memphis struggles with injuries and inconsistent shooting, especially from three, converting only 34% of nearly 40 attempts per game.
The team’s issues are compounded by controversy surrounding Ja Morant. Despite a middling overall performance, Memphis relies heavily on three-point shooting but struggles to convert efficiently. Meanwhile, the Knicks enter as favorites, buoyed by a strong offensive run that has ranked them second in NBA scoring (122.8 points per game). Their recent 271-point surge over two games highlights their offensive prowess.
Knicks’ Key Performers
- Jalen Brunson: Averaging 27.2 points and 6.2 assists, continues leading the team.
- Karl-Anthony Towns: Dominates the frontcourt with 12.7 rebounds per game.
- OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges: Provide strong two-way contributions with a combined 47% shooting from three.
- Mitchell Robinson: When healthy, significantly boosts the team’s defense.
Summary
The Knicks are in excellent form, led by star players, while the Grizzlies, hampered by injuries and inconsistent shooting, aim to overcome adversity in this matchup.
"The Knicks’ offensive efficiency and disciplined defense give them an edge over the injury-ravaged Grizzlies, who struggle with shooting and team cohesion."
Author's summary: The Knicks appear favored to extend their winning streak with a balanced attack and strong defense, while the Grizzlies face challenges due to injuries and inconsistent performance.
