Three questions for the Knicks’ second half which begins on Thursday:

1. Can the Knicks stay in contention until their starting frontcourt returns?

The Knicks won their first three games with Julius Randle, OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson sidelined at the same time, and they will try to continue to post Ws with multiple injured role players set to return.

2. Will any or all of those players even be back?

Julius Randle is hoping he won’t need offseason shoulder surgery. Jeenah Moon for the New York Post Julius Randle is hoping he won’t need offseason shoulder surgery. Jeenah Moon for the New York Post

Based on their media availabilities over the past two days, neither Randle nor Anunoby has resumed practicing or appear close, and Robinson is aiming for a late-season comeback.

3. Can Jalen Brunson increase his MVP level?

The first-time All-Star has scored at least 30 points in 11 of his last 15 games.

OG Anunoby said he expects to return to the Knicks’ lineup before the playoffs. Angus Mordant for the New York Post OG Anunoby said he expects to return to the Knicks’ lineup before the playoffs. Angus Mordant for the New York Post

If that continues, the “MVP” chants only will grow louder at MSG.
