Knicks Extend Winning Streak to Eight Games

In their first game of 2025, the Knicks secured their eighth consecutive win, defeating the Wizards 126-106, with Josh Hart achieving his third triple-double of the season, scoring 23 points, grabbing 15 rebounds, and dishing out 10 assists. Hart's performance helped the Knicks pull away after a close first half, during which they managed a 17-3 run. Nikola Jokic had a stellar outing for the Nuggets earlier, gathering 23 points, 17 rebounds, and 15 assists in a win over the Hawks, although he missed the chance for a rare 20-20-20 game due to the game's margin. The Knicks' winning streak marks their longest since late 2022. Meanwhile, the Wizards continue to struggle, losing 23 of their last 26 games. Hart's consistent contributions make him a valuable asset for fantasy players as well.
