The Knicks have championship expectations but have middled out since their NBA Cup victory. This is head coach Mike Brown's first real test.

Knicks center Mitchell Robinson raised eyebrows after making a cryptic social media post, but fans did get some clarity

The Mavs beat the Utah Jazz 138-120 on Saturday night, headlined by three 20-plus point scorers. Klay Thompson led the way for Dallas with a team-high 23 points, sinking six 3-pointers, all off the bench. Brandon Williams got the start and recorded 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists. Max Christie finished with 22 points.

The New York Knicks have lost eight of their 10 games, and it appears Mitchell Robinson is frustrated with the team's direction.

The Dallas Mavericks will be the visiting team as they travel to Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks on MLK Day, Monday, January 19. Tipoff time is set for 5 p.m. ET, with the game airing live on NBC and also streaming in simulcast on Peacock.

OG Anunoby stays composed after the Knicks’ loss to Phoenix, stressing patience and unity during a tough stretch.

The problem was highlighted by former NBA head coach Stan Van Gundy. This season, it is no secret the Knicks have been a below-average defense ranking 19th in the NBA. The Knicks were a top ranked defense over the last two seasons, and it seems as if they've lost that grit and grind mentality.

Yes, there is a realistic chance that New York will make a trade. As I’ve previously reported, per league sources, the Knicks are open to moving both Guerschon Yabusele and Pacôme Dadiet. Together, those two players will make $8.3 million this season. So, for example, New York could trade them for a player or players who make that exact amount.
