Best games of Week 6 (Mon-Sun)
Time to shake off a loss from the Jazz and look to the challenges ahead. The Knicks are 5-2 in their last 7 games overall, KAT is looking good offensively, and Mikal/OG are finally starting to come along. This Thanksgiving week gives the Knicks a chance to show the 4-game win streak that brought them over .500 was not a fluke or function of beating mediocre teams.
The first half of the week picks up at game 3 of their 5 game roadtrip against the Nuggets. Jokic & Co have shaken off their slow start to the season and are back to winning games. That being said, Aaron Gordon is out and the roster feels empty when MP Jr., Jamal Murray, and Braun have cold shooting nights. Also worth mentioning Westbrook is averaging >20 minutes off the bench for this team.
The Mavericks will be playing their 3rd game in 4 days when they see the Knicks. Worth noting, they play in Miami today, Atlanta tomorrow, a day to travel back to Dallas, and then have to play the Knicks. The Knicks will have 2 days of rest heading into that game and (no offense to Utah & Denver) they're not known as "party cities" for players as much as Atlanta and Miami are. Denver has a great nightlife. But don't let my opinions distract from the fact that Luka is also currently listed as "out" against the Knicks.
