Knicks & Nets revised schedules released

The revised schedules for the New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets were released last night.

With the season truncated to 66 games, both local teams saw reductions in the number of conference and inter-conference games this season. Case in point, the Knicks only play the Miami Heat twice this year, with the first meeting at Miami on January 27, and the final meeting at the Garden on April 15.

While the Knicks will still play the Lakers twice this season, they will only play San Antonio, Utah, Denver, and the Clippers once this season.

The Knicks open the season at home on Christmas day against the Boston Celtics.

As for the Nets, they open the season the day after Christmas at Washington, their first home game is the next day against the Atlanta Hawks. In interconference play the Nets will see the Utah Jazz and L.A. Clippers twice this season, while only getting to see the Dallas Mavericks, L.A. Lakers and San Antonio Spurs once this year.

The Nets and Knicks play three times; the first meeting coming on February 4 in New York.
