SNY NBA insider Ian Begley reports on the New York Knicks after Sunday's 110-93 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Point guard Jalen Brunson remains sidelined due to a right ankle sprain, which he sustained a couple of weeks ago.

After two games breezing past lowly opposition in the Wizards and shorthanded Mavericks, the Knicks stepped back up in weight class against the Clippers on Wednesday night.

The New York Knicks will be without Jalen Brunson and both primary backups on Friday at Milwaukee, leaving them without their top three point guards in the potential playoff preview.
