Sure, the Knicks have played a few tough opponents on the road this week. But by and large, their schedule has been Charmin-soft.

New York ranks 30th out of 30 NBA teams in strength of schedule, with their opponents winning a combined 46.2 percent of their games.

But the Knicks won't get many free passes in the final 26 games of the season. Fifteen of the Knicks' final 26 opponents are currently over .500.

That includes three games against the Chicago Bulls, three against the Indiana Pacers, two against the Orlando Magic and one against the Miami Heat. They do have a few winnable games on the schedule though, with two against Toronto and one each against Charlotte, Washington and Detroit.

Of course, they've already lost once to Charlotte this season, so there's that.

They'll enter play Sunday at four games under .500 and in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, two games ahead of Milwaukee.
