The Knicks reached out to the Prudential Center to play their Friday game there in case the Madison Square Garden cleanup wasn't completed in time, according to a source.

The Prudential Center is the home of the Nets.

Tuesday night's game between the Knicks and Magic was postponed due to a fear that asbestos was released into the arena during a cleaning process.

Tests later revealed that none of the dangerous material got into the seating areas, according to a report in the Star-Ledger.

"They believe they can get this cleaned up by Wednesday, and they won't have to move any games -- they'll just have to reschedule the Magic game," said a league official. "But if it gets on past Thursday, the Knicks said they'll get back to the people in Newark."

The Knicks would have to play their game against the Wizards on Friday afternoon because the NHL's New Jersey Devils have a game scheduled in the evening.
