The Houston Rockets make their lone trip to Madison Square Garden to take on the resurgent New York Knicks.
With seven games remaining, Houston is one loss or one Charlotte win away from solidifying a top 3 lottery odds spot. In order to stay ahead of San Antonio for the second-worst record, Houston would need to lose out.
The Knicks clinched an above-.500 record this season on the backs of Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson, RJ Barrett, and a solid supporting cast. Tom Thibodeau eventually wears his starters into the ground, but the Knicks appear to be on the right track.
