Three questions for the Knicks’ second half which begins on Thursday:
1. Can the Knicks stay in contention until their starting frontcourt returns?
The Knicks won their first three games with Julius Randle, OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson sidelined at the same time, and they will try to continue to post Ws with multiple injured role players set to return.
2. Will any or all of those players even be back?
Based on their media availabilities over the past two days, neitherAnunoby has resumed practicing or appear close, and Robinson is aiming for a late-season comeback.
