Analysis:

Anthony is expected to miss the entire week, so it's no surprise he will sit out Wednesday. His London return date would be right in line with that plan, as the Knicks have a a five day break from Saturday until Thursday of next week. With J.R. Smith now out of the picture, Tim Hardaway will likely continue to see big minutes, with Pablo Prigoni also likely starting and seeing extra time.
