The New York Knicks' January schedule has presented challenges, including back-to-back games that complicate power ranking evaluations. National outlets have published differing rankings, with NBA.com dropping the Knicks to No. 7 due to recent inconsistent performance, including a 1-2 record in the last week. Injuries to key players like Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, contrasted with Karl-Anthony Towns’ absence, have added to the volatility. The situation highlights the challenges analysts face in assessing team performance amid an unpredictable schedule.
Over the last eight days, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart have returned from the locker room after suffering scary-looking shoulder injuries. But Karl-Anthony Towns missed the last two games with a thumb sprain.
This week’s debate over the Knicks’ power rankings is complicated by their inconsistent performance and the timing of each outlet's evaluation process during their back-to-back games.
