New York Knicks (47-25) will put their six-game winning streak on the line when they host New Orleans Pelicans (25-47) on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks have been impressive in the Eastern Conference, sitting in the third spot, 5.5 games behind the Pistons and just 0.5 games behind the Celtics. However, they cannot afford to relax at the moment, with the fourth-placed Cavaliers sitting just 3.0 games behind them.
The Pelicans, on the other hand, are almost certain of missing out on the only remaining play-in position in the Western Conference. They’re 11th in the standings, 32 games behind the Thunder and 9.0 games behind the tenth-placed Warriors. James Borrego’s men have shown slight improvements lately, winning six of their last 10 matches, although their latest assignment ended in a 5-point home loss to the Cavaliers.
