Best matchup
Gio. 2 October and Saturday 4 October against Philadelphia 76ers (Abu Dhabi Games)
A minute has passed since the Knicks fans were able to see their team before everyone else took the field, and this year they will have this possibility with the team participating in the global Games of the NBA in Abu Dhabi.
Not only is it an opportunity to see the team in advance, but on a neutral land site for a funny southern action-unfortunately the assumption of Mike Brown It could mean more development time for the deep bench and less overexposure of the appetizers, for those who want to see the stars.
Get married October 22 vs Cleveland Cavaliers
Opening night to Madison Square Garden against your (healthiest) rival in the East, what could be better? The Knicks get a real test outside the doors in what will be a Rauco environment and not to be missed to start the highest season full of expectations for decades.

Easier traits
The Knicks program does not pull many punches, perhaps because there is some front loading or partially due to the West that has a total of a real pushover team. They have a seven-games house from 2 to 14 November and this also includes two back-to-back.
They face a mix of lottery teams in Chicago, Washington and Brooklyn and more severe teams in Minnesota, Memphis, Orlando and Miami. They do not have more than three games support for the rest of the season, with some great journeys of the West Coast in the middle.
There is an extension full of mediocre opponents, once again arriving in the first part of the season. From November 24 to December 5, New York plays Brooklyn, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Toronto, Boston, Charlotte and Utah.
Harder traits
Talk about your brutal travel plans for the holidays, the Knicks kick off a back-to-back on 18-19 December before playing every other night until the New Year’s Eve, which include two road trips and the Christmas day game. After a New York meeting in San Antonio, they fly back for another back-to-back starting from January 2, ending 10 games and six cities and in 17 days.
They only have a couple of larger oscillations in the West Coach, but one falls in a bruised section.
Win from Toronto at home to face Oklahoma City for a back-to-back on March 3-4, before embarking on a journey of five games of eight nights against Denver, both teams from Los Angeles, Utah and Indiana, all to play Golden State at home after a day of rest.
Seeding Playoff
If the Knicks have not blocked between the first two seeds before the last weeks of the season, something has gone terribly crooked or the East has shown a much greater force than the publicized one. In the case of both scenarios, the stretch of the house of their season does not seem so bad.
New York sounds @ Brooklyn on March 20, followed by vs Washington, against New Orleans, @ Charlotte, @ Oklahoma City, @ Houston, vs Chicago, @ Atlanta, vs Boston, against Toronto and vs Charlotte. Those are mostly blessed teams with a couple of high -level contenders who could rest.
