New York Knicks guard Miles McBride is reportedly closing in on a return following an extended injury absence.

The New York Knicks are about to embark on what is easily their most anticipated playoff run in decades. Only nine games remain until Mike Brown’s squad sets out on a journey that all of New York City (except for the dozens of Nets fans) will be watching.

Start time, how to watch, injury reports, betting lines, and more in a preview of the Charlotte Hornets vs the New York Knicks.

The Knicks are about to return to reality. They carry a seven-game winning streak to their four-game road trip. All seven of those wins came against teams under. 500. All but one came against teams at least 23 games under.

Not only have the New York Knicks won seven straight games — as their tankathon schedule continues — but they also recently received positive news on the injury front.

As well as the Knicks have been playing lately, the rumors about them going after a certain superstar this summer won't go away.

With nine games remaining, starting with a road trip that begins tonight, Knicks head coach Mike Brown has judiciously utilized his bench.
