Three Knicks’ keys for earning at least the No. 6 seed and avoiding the play-in round: Keep Mitchell Robinson healthy Robinson is a difference-maker. The 7-footer transforms the Knicks defensively …
Robinson is a difference-maker. The 7-footer transforms the Knicks defensively and is one of the league’s premier offensive rebounders. The problem is he has missed 22 of 60 games this year, a career-long issue for the center. If he can stay on the floor the rest of the way, coach Tom Thibodeau’s team becomes much more dangerous.The streaky fourth-year wing has had an uneven season full of stops and starts, shooting just 32.3 percent from 3-point range.
He excelled at the end of November and for most of December before missing two weeks with a lacerated right index finger at the turn of the new year and hasn’t regained his form. At his best, though, Barrett is a strong third option behind Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson, and makes the Knicks much tougher to defend.The Knicks’ 16-15 mark at MSG is the worst home record of any team in the league with a winning record. Their fantastic 17-12 record on the road has made up for that.
