Prior to Julius Randle and OG Anunoby going down with prolonged injuries at the end of January, the New York Knicks found themselves in a position to contend at the very top of the Eastern Conference standings as the 3-seed.

The New York Knicks went 4-8 in February as they slid down the Eastern Conference standings. Part of the reason why is injuries, most of them long-term or at least more than a few weeks.
