New York Knicks

The Knicks almost all January alternated wins and losses, but at the end of the month they played again. The team, once again, came to the match with Memphis having won three games in a row. The New Yorkers started this series with a home game against Atlanta (119:110). Then at Barclays Center, the Knicks (99:95) defeated Brooklyn in the New York derby, and after that, they also handled Sacramento (143:120), who have been on a strong run lately.

They are currently in third place in the Eastern Conference standings with a 30-16 record. In addition, especially in the previous match against the Kings, the New York team confirmed its status as one of the best offenses of the season - fifth place in the offensive efficiency rating with an average of 117.2 points scored per game.

Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies are first in the offensive rating, on the other hand, scoring 123.7 points per game on average. Actually, the confirmation of the highest class of the team is the winning streak with which they approached the meeting against New York. Memphis won six games in a row, first twice on the road defeating San Antonio (129:115 and 140:112), and then four consecutive games taken at home - from Minnesota (108:106), Charlotte (132:120), New Orleans (139:126) and Utah (125:103).

In the Western Conference standings, like the Knicks in the East, Memphis sits in third position. The balance is 31-15. The gap between the Bears and the first place at the moment is calculated by 6.0 wins.
