Preseason Game Two - vs. Knicks

Tonight is Raptors vs. Knicks, 7:00PM tipoff. The game is available on Raptors NBA TV (all five preseason home games will be), but at posting time, League Pass was not covering tonight's game (neither from Toronto nor New York radio). NBA.com's preview is available here.

What to watch for:
- Mike D'Antoni's Knicks to be (or attempting to be, at least) running and gunning. D'Antoni came over from Phoenix in the off-season to be New York's head coach, and it'll be interesting how his offense works without a Hall of Fame point guard (Steve Nash) running the show.
- Solomon, Humphries, and Bargnani to continue to play substantial minutes.
- Ukic to play more than yesterday (only 7 minutes) and Mitchell to experiment with him and Solomon on the court at the same time. Solomon figures to play the point with this setup (as Roko has a four-inch height advantage), but Ukic will likely be given a chance as well.
