The Knicks went 5-1 in October and looked like one of the best teams in the NBA behind Evan Fournier (17.5 points per game) and Kemba Walker (15.0).

In October, the Knicks were scoring 117.0 points per game and allowing 109.8.

In the 23 games since, the offense is scoring 102.9 points and the defense is allowing 106.5 to opponents, Walker is out of the rotation and Fournier is averaging 11.1 points per game.

The Celtics have been uneven all season, sitting middle of the pack in both offense (No. 14) and defense (No. 16). Some weeks they look like playoff contenders, other weeks they look like an average team that might miss the play-in tournament.
