Weekend Sports Schedule For New York Teams
Brooklyn Nets
The Nets will be on national TV on Saturday as they face Kevin Durant’s former team in San Francisco. Unfortunately, Durant won’t be in uniform: Durant is likely sidelined until after next month’s NBA All-Star Game due to an MCL injury, Yahoo! Sports reported.
Still, the game between the Warriors and Nets could be an NBA Finals preview, even with The Thin Man out of the lineup. Kyrie Irving will be able to play in this game on the road, and Steph Curry (who’s been in a shooting funk of late) will oppose him.
- Saturday, Jan 29: Nets @ Golden State Warriors, 8:30 PM EST

New York Knicks
It’s a light weekend in the NBA due to the big football action also taking place, but this is a game the Knicks have had circled on their schedule for a while. New York started the season with six wins in their first nine games, culminating in a surprisingly lopsided win in Milwaukee against the defending NBA champs. Then in early December, the Bucks battered NY at Madison Square Garden. So this is a rubber match, and a chance for the struggling Knicks to measure themselves against one of the best teams in The Association.
- Thursday, Jan 28 Knicks @ Milwaukee Bucks, 10 PM EST

New York Islanders
The Isles are 7-2 since the calendar turned to 2022, which has vaulted them into the playoff hunt in the Eastern Conference. They face a pair of difficult games at UBS Arena: the Kings on Friday and the Wild on Sunday evening. If the Isles can split those two games, they will say a lot about whether they can sneak into a playoff spot.
- Thursday, Jan 27 Islanders vs. LA Kings. 7 PM EST
- Saturday, Jan 29 Islanders vs. Seattle Kraken, 2 PM EST
- Sunday, Jan 30 Islanders vs. Minnesota Wild, 7:30 PM EST
New York Rangers
The Rangers are 5-1 SU in their last six games, which has helped them nip at the heels of the Panthers for the best record in the East. Beginning Thursday in Columbus, the Rangers have a three games in four nights stretch. But Sunday’s home game will be the second in two days for the Kraken, and the Rangers will be large favorites in that contest.
- Thursday, Jan 27 Rangers @ Columbus Blue Jackets, 7 PM EST
- Friday, Jan 28 Rangers vs. Minnesota Wild, 8 PM EST
- Sunday, Jan 30 Rangers vs. Seattle Kraken, 1 PM EST
