After a downright miserable start to the season that featured David Fizdale’s firing, the New York Knicks have won three of their last four games. They even had a chance at a longer winning streak if not for a late-game loss to the Denver Nuggets.
Now, the Knicks are back on the road for another difficult matchup, after blowing out the lowly Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night.
The Miami Heat are the Eastern Conference’s biggest surprise so far, especially after defeating the Philadelphia 76ers at home earlier this week. Behind Jimmy Butler‘s arrival and the play of Bam Adebayo, Kendrick Nunn, and Tyler Herro, this is a fun, young team with depth and the ability to take down anyone in their path.
