Their 21-15 away record is second to none with a big chance of securing the 35^th victory on Saturday.

The New York Knicks who were projected to finish in the top 5 are struggling to keep themselves in the hunt after a string of dismal performances. They were off to a slow start but finally found their mojo when they defeated some big guns early in the season.

They played Grizzlies in the last game where they failed to put up a formidable challenge to earn their 39th defeat of the season. They are occupying 12^th place with 28 victories and 39 defeats in the season so far.
