With only 27 games left in the 2023–24 season, we are on a time crunch heading towards the playoffs. The Knicks went into the break on a skid, losing four straight games and dropping to 33-22. New York has suffered many injuries and still sits fourth in the Eastern Conference. They are 1.5 games behind the Milwaukee Bucks for third and four games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for second. Looking the other way, only three games separate the Knicks in the fourth seed and the Orlando Magic in the eighth seed.
