A win for the Knicks would push their record over .500, and after one quarter of play they've put themselves in a good position to make it happen. They have jumped out to a quick 30-29 lead against the Nets.

As one of the favorites to win the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have sputtered out of the gate to a 5-5 record. New acquisition Karl-Anthony Towns leads the team with 24.5 points and 12.4 rebounds per game, forming a dynamic duo with point guard Jalen Brunson (24.3 points per game).
