The New York Knicks are preparing to wrap up the 2020–21 regular season, with nine games until the playoffs commence. With an easier matchup against the Houston Rockets on Sunday, who are arguably the worst team in the NBA, the Knicks have an opportunity to start this last string of games off with a bang, dominating Houston and moving onto the Memphis Grizzlies, who are slightly above .500.
However, the Knicks have a few difficult games down the stretch, specifically a road trip to the West Coast where they will take on the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, and LA Clippers.
