The Knicks get to see their two most important foes with a Tuesday-Wednesday back-to-back versus Atlanta and Charlotte.
They are two games that could end any chances of continuing a long-shot pursuit of the play-in event and one loss will secure their eighth losing season in nine years.
The Hawks, who advanced to the 2021 Eastern Conference Finals, are in a much more comfortable slot, in 10th place, five games ahead of the Knicks as Trae Young visits Tuesday.The Knicks are six games behind Charlotte and face the Hornets twice — Wednesday in the Queen City and March 30 at the Garden.
“We’re going to go and try to win every single game,” RJ Barrett said of Atlanta. “They’re a team that’s ahead of us, so this will be a big opportunity for us.” The Knicks blew a big opportunity versus Utah as they held an early nine-point lead and were within four points with 7:00 left in the fourth quarter before the Jazz. The Knicks could’ve moved within four games entering Tuesday’s showdown.
