Anthony got banged up and poked in the eye in the Knicks victory on Sunday. “When I got poked in the eye, it messed my vision up,” Anthony said. “My eye was blurry. I had a migraine throughout the whole game. I was just trying to fight through it. I’ll be ready for Utah (on Monday) night,” he said. “I was going to give him two minutes, maybe three (of rest), and then we started going,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said. “We’ve got a game (Monday) night, and he’s played heavy minutes.” The odds makers at BetUS have the New York Knicks a -6 point favorite at home against the Utah Jazz.
