FIVE GAMES TO WATCH

» SATURDAY vs. CELTICS

The home opener will feature Enes Kanter’s return to the Garden and his first chance at revenge on Fizdale, with whom he feuded before being waived in February. Bronx native Kemba Walker, said to be ambivalent about signing with the Knicks as a free agent, will play his first Garden game in green.

» NOV. 14 vs. MAVERICKS

The vitriol Kristaps Porzingis faces in a Mavericks uniform when he plays the Garden for the first time since tearing his ACL in 2018, will be epic. The narrative the bulked-up 7-foot-3 Latvian forced a trade out of New York has not sat well with Knicks fans. It will be the second Mavericks matchup in six days, with the Knicks in Dallas on Nov. 8 for Smith’s return to Big D.

» NOV. 24 vs. NETS

Certainly the Knicks invading Barclays Center on Friday in the season’s second game is compelling theatre but won’t compare to the Nets at the Garden with Kyrie Irving in black duds and Kevin Durant in a sports jacket. The volume of boos for Irving won’t top Porzingis’ expected reception but will come close after Irving spurned the Knicks and brought KD and ex-Knick DeAndre Jordan to Brooklyn with him.

» JAN. 10 vs. PELICANS

After his preseason visit was scrapped by injury, Zion Williamson could play his first Garden game as a pro when the revamped Pelicans come to town.

» JAN. 22 vs. LAKERS

Anthony Davis and LeBron James make their lone Garden visit. Randle also has revealed his bad feelings about the organization that drafted him. Advice to Knicks fans: Root against the purple and gold this season. A subpar Lakers’ season may be the only igniter for AD’s free-agent departure in 2020, when the Knicks will have a ton of cap space.
