The Washington Wizards play the New York Knicks tomorrow to start the preseason. Let’s get to it.

When: Thursday, Oct. 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET

Where: Madison Square Arena, New York, NY

How to watch: Monumental Sports Network

Wizards: Jamir Watkins and Tristan Vukcevic are out.

Washington will begin the preseason tomorrow on the road to play the defending NBA champions. The Knicks lost to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, 120-97. Tomorrow, all I care about is seeing how rotations look in limited minutes as opposed to how AJ Dybantsa does in 35 minutes of action. Either way, hopefully, the Wizards win!
