 Knicks can be without top scorers
NEW YORK -Jamal Crawford and Eddy Curry were added to the injury list, which means the New York Knicks are going to have a short bench for their game against the Dallas Mavericks Monday night.
Crawford and Curry were scratched from the lineup before Saturday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers, which the Knicks somehow managed to take to overtime. New York lost 120-114 as four-point underdogs and Nate Robinson racked up a career high 45 points.
Crawford, leading New York with 20.8 points per game, bruised his right hand Friday night in the Knicks' 101-97 loss to Detroit. Curry, the starting center, was out with a sore right knee.
Curry did not travel with the team to Dallas, according to a report in the New York Post. The move could be more of a cautionary measure with the Knicks firmly planted in the basement of the NBA Atlantic Division.
Zach Randolph is also day-to-day with a foot injury and he also missed Saturday's game. Randolph is averaging 17.5 points and a team-best 10.2 rebounds, who has a bruised right foot and has returned to Indiana for personal reasons. Stephon Marbury, third on the team in scoring, isn't expected to play again this season after having left ankle surgery in January.
New York's starting lineup was Wilson Chandler, David Lee, Malik Rose, Quentin Richardson and Robinson Saturday night. Richardson didn't even play Friday, as coach Isiah Thomas has given more time to his younger players.
Oddsmakers have yet to release a line for Monday's game, scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET in Dallas
