The New York Knicks have experienced a significant boost in performance with OG Anunoby on the court, achieving a +24.6 net rating and a 98.9 defensive rating. Anunoby's impact has been notable with averages of 15.6 points, a .516 field goal percentage, and .391 from the three-point line over the last 14 games. The Knicks' impressive streak includes eight consecutive wins and a 14-2 record for January. Tom Thibodeau, the Knicks' head coach and two-time coach of the year, has been recognized for the team's success by being named the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for January. Meanwhile, Tyronn Lue of the LA Clippers has received the same honor for the Western Conference, marking his second consecutive Coach of the Month award, with the Clippers posting a 12-3 record in January and an 11-2 record in December. Thibodeau is also in contention to coach the Eastern Conference All-Stars, closely trailing Doc Rivers, with the cutoff for the decision approaching this weekend. The Trail Blazers' recent victory over the Bucks has contributed to Thibodeau's proximity to the All-Star coaching position.
Brunson and Randle picked as All-Stars and still can't rule out Thibodeau being their coach. Knicks are just a half-game behind the Bucks, who have a tough back-to-back at Dallas and Utah before the deadline this weekend.
