The Knicks are in basically a must-win situation on Sunday against the Heat, so Carmelo Anthony will play through a bruised shoulder.
"It feels tight," Anthony told reporters. "It's hard to lift up; it's hard to do things."
But with the Knicks battling for a postseason spot, Anthony is going to give it his best shot.
The Heat on the other hand will be without Dwyane Wade for a sixth straight game because of a strained hamstring. The Heat will also sit Greg Oden and Chris Anderson.
This will be the 25th game this season Wade has sat. The Heat are 16-8 without him in the lineup.
