It is opening night in the NBA, and it is banner night for the New York Knicks.

The Knicks will hang their first banner since 1973, welcoming the Philadelphia 76ers to Madison Square Garden.

Jalen Brunson and company swept the 76ers in four games in the second round last season en route to the title, but this is a much different Sixers team they’ll be facing on Tuesday night.

The Sixers had a transformative offseason, trading for an MVP candidate and adding one of the greatest players of all time in the twilight of his career.

Philadelphia is looking to make a statement. The Knicks are looking to remind everyone of who they are.

The Knicks have a clean bill of health coming into opening night. They will start Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Coming off the bench will be Miles McBride, Landry Shamet, Jordan Clarkson, and Jose Alvarado. Newcomer Andre Drummond will make his debut for the Knicks after he was signed in the offseason to help replace Mitchell Robinson, who joined the Boston Celtics.

The Knicks will be at full strength as they begin their quest to become the first back-to-back champions since the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018.

The Sixers will have their starting lineup of Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, LeBron James, and Joel Embiid.

But their depth will be tested.

Anfernee Simons is questionable with left hamstring tightness and soreness, while Dean Wade is questionable with a left ankle sprain.

Those are two big contributors off the bench brought in by the Sixers in the offseason to help their depth issues. Simons averaged 14 points and shot 38% from three with the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls last season. Wade averaged 5.8 points and 4.2 rebounds with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Adem Bona is also questionable with a left foot sprain. The third-year center appeared in 71 games for the Sixers last season, averaging 4.8 points and 4.3 rebounds in just over 17 minutes per game.

Dominick Barlow is out with a low back stress reaction. He played in 71 games with the Sixers last season, averaging 7.7 points.

Former Knick Ariel Hukporti is out after suffering a right Achilles tendon rupture in the preseason. He will be out for the year.

Tacko Fall is out with a left quadriceps strain.
