The New York Knicks are back on the road after playing the last six games at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks travel to Houston to face the Rockets on Monday before heading to Orlando and Philadelphia. Houston enters the game on a losing streak and has lost seven of its last 10 games.

Sunday's game will be the second and final meeting of the season between the Knicks and the Rockets. The Knicks beat Houston at MSG on Jan. 17 and have not lost against them since Feb. 24, 2020.

New York Knicks vs Houston Rockets key matchups

One of the key matchups of the game is Jalen Brunson vs. Jalen Green. Both are scoring guards capable of taking over the contest, with Brunson likely to have the edge. He has been phenomenal for the Knicks, while Green has had a rough patch this season in Houston.

If Alperen Sengun gets cleared to play the Knicks, it would interesting to see him battle the rest of the big men. Sengun could get entangled with players like Precious Achiuwa, Isaiah Hartenstein, Taj Gibson and Jericho Sims.
