Knicks must focus on three key areas

To secure at least the No. 6 seed and avoid the play-in round, the Knicks must focus on three key areas. Firstly, Mitchell Robinson’s availability is crucial.

While the 7-foot centre is a game-changer defensively and an elite offensive rebounder, he has been plagued by injuries and has missed 22 out of 60 games this season.

The Knicks become a more formidable team under coach Tom Thibodeau if Robinson can remain on the court.

Secondly, RJ Barrett’s performance is critical. The fourth-year wing has had an inconsistent season, shooting just 32.3 per cent from beyond the arc.

While he showed flashes of brilliance earlier in the season, an injury disrupted his form. Barrett is an essential third option behind Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson, and his success makes the Knicks much more challenging to defend.

Finally, the Knicks must improve their home record. Their 16-15 record at Madison Square Garden is the worst among teams with a winning record, while their 17-12 road record has compensated for this.

However, with a challenging schedule ahead, including a four-game West Coast trip in early March, the Knicks must win more frequently in their remaining 11 home games.

They have won three of their last five games at home, and they need to maintain that momentum.
