The NBA has postponed Monday's Nets and Knicks home games in advance of a winter storm that is expected to blast the Northeast with snow of "historic" proportions, the league announced on Monday.
The Knicks were scheduled to host the Kings at Madison Square Garden, with the Nets playing the Trail Blazers in Brooklyn. Both games have been postponed, per reports by Kings broadcaster Grant Napear and Yahoo! Sports, respectively.
