26. New York Knicks (6-14)
Last week: 26
The New York Knicks continue to struggle, though have picked up quality back-to-back wins against the Celtics and Pelicans over the last few days. Say what you want about this team, picking up those two wins (even though both of those teams have struggles of their own) says something about this team.
While they may not be in the race for the playoffs in the Eastern Conference at the moment, I don’t think last year’s squad had the ability to win those types of games early in the season. Credit the job that Dave Fizdale has done this season.
Courtney Lee is also expected to make his way back to the lineup soon, so that should give this team another shot in the arm for the next couple of weeks.
