Nets-Blazers, Knicks-Kings games postponed due to weather

The NBA has postponed Monday night's Knicks-Kings and Nets-Trail Blazers games because of extreme weather forecasted for the New York area, the league announced. 

New York is expected to receive up to three feet of snow over the next two days, making it extremely difficult to airplanes to land at one of the three New York-area airports. More than 5,000 flights have been canceled on the East Coast, and New York City officials have said the impending storm could be one of the city’s worst ever.

The Knicks and Kings will play a makeup game on March 3. The Nets-Trail Blazers game will be made up on April 6.

The last time the Knicks or Nets had a game postponed was when Hurricane Sandy forced the league to postpone a game between the two teams.
