The New York Knicks continue to fight their way back up to a Play-In position in the Eastern Conference. Washington have been outclassed in their last five games, and their defence doesn’t look particularly reliable.

The Washington Wizards are still in the running for the playoffs, but they’re up against some impressive challengers in the New York Knicks. Successful when they can mix it up in the paint as much as the perimeter, the Wizards’ challenge will come on the glass.
Fourth in the league in rebounds per game with 46.4, while also ranking fourth in offensive rebounds per game at 11.4, the Knicks will be difficult for the Wizards to control. However, the Wizards outrebound their opponents by 2.8 in victories.
Sporting one of the bigger lineups in the league, you can’t say that the Wizards don’t have the size to compete with the Knicks on the glass. However, it’ll be a matter of mindset if they hope to outrebound the aggressive Knicks.
Kristaps Porzingis towers over the defense for the slam ?pic.twitter.com/6yk3fEsWyy

Still settling in with the Washington Wizards, Kristaps Porzingis has been in decent form since joining his new team. In just five games, Porzingis has shown flashes of what could be a great future for the Wizards.
Porzingis has averaged 19.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in five games with Washington. His shooting hasn’t been very steady, going just 48.4% fro the field and 31.6% from three-point range.
Washington’s size issues are potentially solved with Porzingis, and his stretch abilities should give the Knicks some problems. If Porzingis can find consistency from range, the New York Knicks will be in a lot of trouble.
The New York Knicks are trying to work their way back into Play-In position. Looking to create a win streak of their own, New York will need to find their offensive form early to find victory.
In their last game, a win over the Portland Trail Blazers, the New York Knicks were able to be incredibly efficient with their offence. As a team the Knicks shot 50% from the field and 16 of 38 from the field.
Ball movement will be key to New York finding a win, as they assisted on 31 of 40 field goals in their last game. If they don’t fall into one-on-one play, New York have a great chance at victory.

Third-year star RJ Barrett has done an excellent job of leading the Knicks, despite some youthful inconsistencies. In the Knicks’ blowout of the Trail Blazers in their last game, Barrett starred.
The Canadian international led the Knicks in minutes in their last game at just over 40. Barrett posted an impressive line of 31 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals. His efficiency and shooting were notable, going 10 of 20 from the field and 5 of 11 from three-point range.
Barrett was unavailable in New York’s last game against the Wizards, so he’ll be able to offer some new looks for the Wizards defence. If his shooting is on point, Washington’s defence shouldn’t have a chance.
