The Knicks continue their strong December run as they visit the Pelicans on Monday in the teams’ first meeting of the season. New York is riding momentum after edging Atlanta 128-125, led by Karl-Anthony Towns’ 36 points, Jalen Brunson’s 34, and OG Anunoby’s late heroics. Despite missing Josh Hart, the Knicks improved to 22-9 and 10-3 in December.

Meanwhile, New Orleans dropped its third straight, falling 123-114 to Phoenix despite a late push from Zion Williamson. With three rookies in the rotation and the league’s worst Western Conference record at 8-25, the Pelicans aim to show resilience against a title contender.
