The Knicks will be the visitors in a game they come into in 4th place in the Eastern Conference with a 46-32 record. The Big Apple franchise, however, is dreaming of climbing even higher in the standings, as Orlando Magic, 3rd, has the same record, and Milwaukee Bucks, 2nd, is just one game behind, 47-31, after losing its last four games.
