The red hot Knicks look to continue taking care of business as they battle for playoff positioning

The New York Knicks are back in action on Friday night when they will be in the Alamo City where they will battle to San Antonio Spurs and the Knicks will continue their play A Reason which has been good is they’ve been feasting on teams that are Lotter rebound now the

Knicks they’ve been playing well lately they’ve won eight out of their last 10 games that bolds well for them and their most recent win put them in sole possession of third place but they still have an opportunity and their big opportunity coming up is to move up to

Second place where they could catch the Milwaukee Bucks if they win on Friday night a win would put them just a game out of the second seed in the Eastern Conference so the Nick’s recent play despite all their injuries has done well for them and when it comes to the Knicks

This season you got to talk about them taking care of business they’ve absolutely done that 26-2 against teams with below 500 records Now teams with above 500 records 18 and 26 probably not what you like it there but any team that’s trying to make the playoffs the thing you want to see

Is them handle their business against teams supposed to beat and the Knicks have done that when it comes to talking about the playoffs there’s a lot you can talk about in terms of the Knicks where they need to get healthy but another thing that fans are looking about right

Now and what they want to see if they can get that two seed is who might the Knicks play now if the Knicks get up to the two seed they would likely play somebody at Philadelphia or Miami that would be a likely opponent but if they stay around the three there’s a plethora

Of opponents not plethora I should say but at least a couple that they could play and that could be the Cleveland Cavaliers it could be the Orlando Magic it could be the Indiana Pacers now against the magic they have struggled this year one and three in games against

Orlando this season although they won their last game against the magic against the Pacers one- two below 500 record but Cleveland we know the Nick success against them recently dominated them in the first round last year two- one against the Cavaliers this season so as the Knicks try to battle for playoff

Positioning and seeing how high they can get this is something that to keep their eye on how they played against teams as they get healthier the importance of getting that number two seed or at least staying in the third seed is that the Knicks would stay in that place and

Avoid Boston in the bracket of the playoffs which is something I’m sure Nicks fans would like to do see the Boston Celtics at top seat in the east as late as possible in the playoffs but for the Knicks right now it’s all about taking care of business and Friday night

In San Antonio is another Lottery down team that they can take care of business and they need to do that because after that tonight’s game on Friday against the Spurs they have nine games left and eight of those nine games are against teams who are at least going to qualify

For the playin tournament or the playoffs so the schedule gets tougher after year and the Knicks will have a chance to play some better competition as they try to get ready for the 2024 playoffs but it all starts with taking care of the business and we’ll see if

The nck can do that tonight in San Antonio
