Randle Sniffs Triple-Double in win over Trail Blazers
Julius Randle finished with 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one block over 32 minutes during Tuesday’s 112-84 win over the Trail Blazers. Randle has been an excellent two-way threat for the Knicks this season, and his performances over the last few weeks have been nothing short of spectacular. Excluding the eight-point performance against the 76ers on Jan. 5, Randle has hit 24 or more points in all but one of his last nine games, and if adding the game against Philadelphia, then he’s still averaging 28.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.6 steals per contest.
Mavericks will be without Doncic
Luka Doncic is listed as out for Thursday’s game versus the Knicks due to a right ankle sprain. Doncic was dealing with ankle pain in Tuesday’s loss to Memphis, as he left the game on two separate occasions before ultimately playing through his injury. With Dallas’ superstar guard out, Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway will likely receive increased minutes. Doncic’s next chance to suit up is Saturday’s matchup with the Pelicans.
