The New York Knicks will be getting some reinforcements back as they travel up north to take on the Toronto Raptors.
Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns will return to the lineup from a one-game absence, starting alongside Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, former Raptor OG Anunoby and Josh Hart.
Towns was held out of the Knicks' Saturday game against the Detroit Pistons with a right knee injury.
The four-time All-Star is averaging 25.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 33.8 minutes per game this season, helping the team to a 14-9 record that's good for fourth in the Eastern Conference. Getting Towns back should boost New York's league-leading offence back to usual levels and thoroughly test Toronto's middle-of-the-pack defence.
Action between the Atlantic Division rivals gets going at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.
