The New York Knicks are about to complete one of the most difficult stretches of the 2015-16 NBA regular season. Coming off of a run during which it faced the likes of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs, New York is about to face some sub-.500 competition.
Victories should be significantly more attainable over the coming week:
NYK's next 4 games:

HOU (6-10, -6.5), PHI (0-17, -12.3), BRK (3-12, -7.9), @MIL (6-10, -8.2)
Possibly the easiest 4g stretch of the season
It’s not, “Easy,” to beat those teams, but New York should be able to capitalize on their slow starts.
First on the schedule is the Houston Rockets. New York defeated Houston 107-102 on Saturday, November 21 behind 24 points and 14 rebounds from rookie phenom Kristaps Porzingis.
The question is, what can the Knicks do to replicate the result at Madison Square Garden?
