After a nail biter against the Cavs on Saturday night, the Knicks are back home to take on the Houston Rockets and former point guard Jeremy Lin in his first game back in New York since leaving as a Free Agent.

It was announced before the game Carmelo Anthony will sit out again tonight with his injured left ankle. Rasheed Wallace will also sit out his second game as well with a sore left foot. Some good news was that, Amar’e Stoudemire has been cleared for practice, doing so with the Knicks D-League team, and could possibly return this weekend
