The Knicks are 0-2 on the young season, falling to the Philadelphia 76ers on opening night and then losing to the Boston Celtics. The Knicks return to the Garden for the first of two games.

The Magic are also 0-2 on the season, dropping a close game to the Atlanta Hawks before they were blown out by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Both games were at home, and now they hit the road for three straight contests.
