The New York Knicks are about to embark on a six-game west coast road trip that will make or break their playoff positioning.
Five of the six games on the upcoming road trip are against teams in Western Conference playoff position, those being the Grizzlies, Nuggets, Suns, Clippers, and Lakers. Given that the Knicks are presently in 4th position in the Eastern Conference but only 2 games ahead of the seventh slot, quality performances will be a necessity.
