19. New York Knicks (19-23)

The New York Knicks are a bit ahead of schedule in the overall scheme of things, but over the last couple of weeks they managed to fall out of the top 8 in the East. A lot of that likely has to do with the injury to Tim Hardaway Jr., but now that he’s back in the lineup it’s going to be interesting to see if he can help bring them back.

Kristaps Porzingis has regressed a bit over the last couple of weeks, and perhaps that’s due to fatigue from having a heavier than usual workload this season.

The All-Star break can’t come fast enough for the Knicks. This is a team that really needs it.
