On Friday night, the New York Knicks will face off against the Cavs in Ohio. For the game, they could be without one of their best players, as All-Star forward

The Knicks have a one-game lead over the Indiana Pacers as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, and they are playing the No. 1-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers on the second night of their current back-to-back. Playing against the East's best squad, the Knicks have two critical players listed on the injury report.

The Knicks (50-29) have been locked into the No. 3 seed for quite some time and need just one win over the Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers or Brooklyn Nets to close the regular season or an Indiana Pacers’ loss to secure the positioning for good.
