  NEW YORK -- Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah have been All-Stars on winning teams, yet also have struggled with injuries. Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Hyperspace .Carmelo Anthony is still an All-Star, though his best days may be behind him. Kristaps Porzingis could be one eventually, but for now his best days may be too far ahead.For every reason to believe in the New York Knicks, theres another reason to question them. Even the guy who assembled them is optimistic but unsure.We hope that this team is going to prove that theyre capable, said Phil Jackson, the Knicks president of basketball operations.If healthy, it should be. The talent has been ungraded with the trade for Rose, the former NBA MVP, and signings of Noah, Courtney Lee and Brandon Jennings. Yet all but Lee have missed significant time at some point because of injury, and Rose and Noah in particular have seen sharp drops in their production in recent years.But Jackson decided to take some risks after the Knicks went 32-50 last season to miss the playoffs for the third straight year. And he hired another coach, bringing in Jeff Hornacek to open up the offense.He hasnt had much time yet to see how well it can work.Rose missed much of preseason while in Los Angeles because of a rape trial that ended Wednesday when he was cleared in a $21.5 million lawsuit that accused him and two friends of raping an ex-girlfriend while she said she was incapacitated from drugs or alcohol.Rose made it through 66 games last season, his highest total since his injury troubles started with a torn ACL in the 2012 playoffs.Noah got a late start on exhibition play because of hamstring and ankle injuries, renewing concerns about the center. He averaged a career-low 4.3 points last season in Chicago while limited to 29 games because of a dislocated left shoulder.So the Knicks will be figuring things out as they open Tuesday at Cleveland. The potential is there for a strong season, but it can also be wrecked by the injury bug that Rose knows all too well.If him and Noah stay healthy, they can be a dangerous team, TNT analyst Charles Barkley said.Here are things to watch as the Knicks begin their 70th anniversary season:ON POINT: The Knicks are confident in Jennings running the team whenever Rose is unavailable. He said he is fully recovered from a torn Achilles tendon that sidelined him about a year and has regained his quickness.GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY: Anthony has advanced in the playoffs just twice, both in seasons after he won Olympic gold medals. He became mens basketballs first three-time gold medalist this summer and will be hoping this season resembles 2009 in Denver and 2013 in New York, when he was the NBAs leading scorer.SHAPE OF THE OFFENSE: In two seasons under Derek Fisher and Kurt Rambis, the Knicks ran the triangle offense that Jackson used to win an NBA-record 11 championships as coach. Hornacek said they will still run some of it, but will also look to push the ball more quickly to take advantage of Roses speed and create more easy baskets.WILLY FROM SEVILLA: While scouting Porzingis when he played in Spain, the Knicks noticed Guillermo Willy Hernandez, his teammate in Seville. The Knicks acquired Hernangomezs draft rights from Philadelphia in 2015, signed him in July, and hope the 6-foot-11 center who played on Spains bronze medal-winning team in the Rio Olympics can become an important player off the bench.PHILS FINALE?: Jackson has an option in his contract to leave after this season, which he said he had included in case there was a lockout.

PETERSBURG, Fla. With a little more than a quarter of the season gone, the San Jose Sharks know the points they accumulate now might pay off come playoff time.San Jose goes for its fourth win in a row on Saturday night when it plays host to the Anaheim Ducks, who hope to get some better production from two of their stars while trying to snap a three-game skid.This is the fourth game of a five-game homestand and a stretch in which the Sharks (12-8-1) play seven games in 11 days. San Jose coach Peter DeBoer now is the time to rack up points.Were in the middle of a really tough stretch of the schedule, lot of games, short number of days. Were just trying to grind through and put points in the bank, he said Friday.San Jose has been doing just that when playing its division rivals at the SAP Center. The Sharks improved to 10-1-0 in their last 11 at home against the Ducks with a 2-1 overtime victory on Oct. 25 as Joe Pavelski scored early and assisted on Marc-Edouard Vlasics winning goal.Pavelski has two goals and three assists in a season-high five-game points streak. He is tied with Brent Burns for the team lead with 18 points.Burns, who signed an eight-year, $64 million contract extension on Tuesday, has posted three straight multi-point games, totaling two goals and four assists.Burns has failed to register a point in three straight at home against Anaheim. However, one of the assists during his current run came on Patrick Marleaus game-winning goal with 23 seconds left in a 3-2 win over the New York Islanders on Friday. San Jose led 2-1 in the final minute before rookie Aaron Dell surrendered the tying goal with 55 seconds remaining.Were finding ways to win, and theyre close games, too, so we can build off of that, Marleau said after San Joses seventh win in nine home games.Martin Jones has been stellar in goal for the Sharks, stopping 59 of 60 shots in his last two games, but he has had a surprising lack of success when facing Anaheim. In eight career starts, Jones has a 1.63 goals-against average and .933 ssaver percentage but is just 3-5-0.

In the last 11 home games, San Jose has killed off 24 of Anaheims 25 power plays.Anaheim (9-8-4) is in the middle of the pack in the Pacific and just three points behind San Jose despite winning just three of 10 on the road this season. The Ducks suffered their third straight loss, 3-2 to the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday.All of the losses in Anaheims current skid have been by the same score, dropping the Ducks to 0-8-4 when scoring two goals or less.Weve got to score goals. ... Weve had opportunities, its not like were not trying, were not playing, Anaheim captain Ryan Getzlaf said Friday.After scoring a career-best 31 in 2013-14, Getzlafs goal-scoring dipped to 25 in 2014-15, then to 13 last season and just one this season. The 31-year-old center hasnt scored a goal in 15 straight games.Linemate Corey Perry, also 31, has four goals in 20 games after averaging 36.6 in the previous three seasons. He has failed to score in 13 straight.With me and (Perry) not scoring the way we are right now, we need to put pucks in the net. We play a lot of minutes. We need to find ways to score goals, Getzlaf said.A turnaround might not happen against the Sharks. Getzlaf has two assists, and Perry has had a goal and an assist in the past seven meetings.With the loss to Chicago, John Gibson fell to 6-7-3 with a 2.62 GAA with a .906 save percentage and one shutout. Games on back-to-back days could signal that Ducks coach Randy Carlyle will go with Jonathan Bernier in goal.In six starts this season, Bernier is 3-1-1 with a 2.04 GAA and .938 save percentage. One of the losses, though, came against the Sharks despite exiting after 20 minutes with an injury. In three career starts at San Jose, Bernier has allowed 14 goals for a 6.03 GAA. ' ' '
