Knicks Week Preview: November 1-7, 2026
The Knicks enter the first full week of November (Nov 2‑7) with a 2‑4 record and a three‑game schedule that starts easy and ends tough. They host the struggling Brooklyn Nets on Monday, hoping Jalen Brunson’s mid‑range game and a strong rebounding effort can secure a win. On Wednesday they face the Chicago Bulls, a team they beat 133‑127 on the road just a week earlier, though the Bulls’ defensive woes may make a repeat comeback unlikely. The week closes with a road test against a 4‑2 Cleveland Cavaliers squad featuring Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and James Harden, where Knicks’ center depth could be tested. The outcomes will gauge New York’s early season trajectory.

The Spurs should be patient with Luke Kornet, for now
The San Antonio Spurs have bounced back with four straight wins after a 0‑2 start, but the veteran backup center Luke Kornet remains under fire. In the latest victory over a shorthanded Timberwolves, Kornet showed solid play, yet the Spurs still score just 100.5 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor and post a high turnover rate. His strengths lie in screening—averaging 2.7 screen assists in 14.6 minutes, the league’s 18th best—and offensive rebounding, but he lacks a scoring threat. While rookie Tarris Reed Jr. is eager for minutes, the article argues patience with Kornet is wise for now, as the team’s defensive woes stem from lineup issues rather than a single center.

Luka Dončić scored 37 points in the Lakers’ 2‑0 season loss to the Golden State Warriors, but the team struggled when opponents blitzed his pick‑and‑roll with two defenders. Dončić warned that the Lakers must convert the resulting 4‑on‑3 advantage into scores and improve chemistry with rookie center Walker Kessler.

Both players acknowledge that early-season growing pains are expected, and that fixing the blitz defense issue could unlock the Lakers’ offensive potential.
