What happened

The Knicks beat Milwaukee 117-85 at MSG for their fourth straight victory, with Jalen Brunson scoring 23 and Karl-Anthony Towns posting 21 points and 16 rebounds.

Josh Hart missed a third straight game because of illness, so Landry Shamet again started and scored 10 points in 28 minutes.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Hart's absence continues to open a starting wing role for Shamet, while New York's rotation remains fluid if Hart is not cleared soon.
