Game Preview: Knicks vs. Grizzlies, Nov. 11, 2025

The New York Knicks (6–3) are on a roll as they return to Madison Square Garden Tuesday night to face the Memphis Grizzlies (4–7), aiming for their fifth consecutive win.

The Grizzlies, struggling lately, have lost three of their last four games, including a 114–100 defeat to the Thunder where they shot just 39% from the field. Memphis is dealing with multiple injuries: Ty Jerome (calf), Brandon Clarke (knee), Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe), and Zach Edey (ankle) are all sidelined, forcing coach Tuomas Iisalo to adjust lineups under tough circumstances.

“Drama surrounds Ja Morant, and statistically the team is middling at best.”

The Grizzlies attempt a high volume of three-pointers, nearly 40 per game, but convert only 34% of them.

The Knicks enter the game as clear favorites, boosted by a dominant stretch that has lifted them to second in the NBA offensive rankings with 122.8 points per game. Scoring 271 points over their last two matches has solidified their momentum.

Coach Mike Brown’s squad has grown sharper each outing, balancing offensive efficiency with defensive toughness. Jalen Brunson leads with an average of 27.2 points and 6.2 assists per game, while Karl-Anthony Towns controls the paint, pulling down 12.7 rebounds per contest.

On the wings, OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges provide strong two-way contributions, shooting a combined 47% from beyond the arc. When Mitchell Robinson is on the court, his impact is significant and shifts the game in the Knicks’ favor.

“When Mitchell Robinson plays, it’s simply unfair.”

Author’s summary: The Knicks build on strong offensive and defensive form as they host an injury-plagued Grizzlies team struggling with consistency and roster challenges.
