The New York Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson, are facing challenges as they navigate through a series of losses and injuries that have left them without their starting frontcourt. Over their last 11 games, the Knicks have managed only three wins, with a recent 110-99 loss to the Golden State Warriors, led by Steph Curry, marking their eighth loss in this period. This slump has positioned the Knicks just one game ahead of a play-in spot for the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. Despite the setbacks, players like Josh Hart are logging significant minutes, and the team is striving to perform their 'best' under the circumstances. The Knicks' struggles come at a critical time as they were only two games behind the Milwaukee Bucks earlier in the week, but now face the risk of ending the week as the 8-seed. Isaiah Hartenstein's playing time has been affected by a nagging Achilles injury, adding to the team's injury woes.

The Knicks began this week just two games back of the Bucks. If they lose Sunday in Cleveland, the Knicks could end the week as the 8-seed.
