Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks are in the midst of the worst losing streak of the 2016-17 NBA regular season. Mere days removed from being three games above .500, the Knicks are now 16-18 and losers of five straight.
If the Knicks are going to turn things around, then the most critical development will need to be Anthony’s resurgence.
Anthony has scored a combined 26 points on 9-of-28 shooting from the field over the past two games. That includes his seven points in 19 minutes against the Houston Rockets and his 19 points on 6-of-17 shooting against the Orlando Magic.
