Carmelo Anthony’s team just got more interesting, with now a roster including Derrick Rose, Harlem World native Joakim Noah and scorer Brandon Jennings.

After the home opener on Saturday, October 29 vs. Memphis, the Knicks’ early season schedule has Jersey native Karl Anthony-Towns and his T-Wolves visiting The Garden on Friday, December 2, while Lebron James, Kyrie Irving and the World Champion Cleveland Cavaliers make their first New York City stop on Wednesday, December 7.  The Cavs return to Manhattan on Saturday, February 4 as well.

To watch the playoffs-minded Knicks against against Atlantic Division rivals, check out the Boston Celtics game on Christmas Sunday afternoon, the Toronto Raptors matchup on Monday, February 27 or Sunday April 9, the annual all-New York series against the Brooklyn Nets on November 9 or March 16 or the clashes with Ben Simmons and the youthful Philadelphia 76ers on February 25 or April 12.

The Knicks will measure up against the best in the league as well. Melo’s squad will host the Western Conference elite like the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday afternoon, February 12 and Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors on Sunday afternoon, March 5. Both of these games will air on ABC.

Finally, Derrick Rose’s new team will tip off against his former team, the Chicago Bulls, on Thursday, January 12.
