Coming off of a disappointing loss to the Boston Celtics, the New York Knicks need a victory more than ever. Having lost five of their last six games and the last two coming by just two measly points, a competitive match against the Memphis Grizzlies will occur on Friday evening.
With the Knicks now two games below .500, ESPN has the grizzlies as 57.9% favorites over the Knicks, who currently ranked fourth in the Atlantic division. Overall, they claim the eighth seed, with just one game over the Indiana Pacers, who are also in the middle of a tough stretch.
