Los Angeles Lakers @ New York Knicks

Last year the New York Knicks enjoyed a major resurgence, bringing big time basketball back to Madison Square Garden. The strong core of Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler and J.R. Smith, returns this year. While roommates Jeremy Lin and Landry Fields have moved on, the Knicks will still be much improved with the addition of guards Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd, forwards Ronnie Brewer and Kurt Thomas, and big man Marcus Camby.
