The New York Knicks return to Madison Square Garden on Sunday night to host the Washington Wizards in an Eastern Conference clash. While New York is locked in a battle to secure the #2 seed in the East, a depleted Washington squad is simply trying to find a silver lining amidst a franchise-worst slide.
New York enters the contest with a 46–25 record and a five-game winning streak. The Knicks have allowed just 110.3 points per outing. After a one-point victory over the Nets on Friday, the Knicks aim to maintain their momentum and stay within striking distance of the Boston Celtics for the conference’s second-best record.
The Wizards arrive at 16–54, having lost 15 consecutive games, their latest being a 21-point dismantling at the hands of Oklahoma City on Saturday. Washington’s roster has been depleted by injuries to nearly every veteran starter. While rookie Alex Sarr and Bub Carrington continue to show flashes of potential, the Wizards face a massive task in slowing down a Knicks unit that has already beaten them twice this season by an average of 24 points.

Head to Head
The New York Knicks have completely dominated the 2025–26 season series, leading 2–0. They secured a 119–102 victory in November and followed it up with a 132–101 rout in February. Historically, the Knicks lead the all-time regular-season series 188–136.
Prediction
The talent gap in this matchup is currently massive, especially with the Wizards playing on the second night of a back-to-back. While Alex Sarr and C.J. McCollum should provide some resistance, they lack the defensive pieces to contain Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns for four quarters. Expect the Knicks’ #5 defense to force high-turnover situations and for New York to pull away early in the second half to secure their 6th straight win.
Score Prediction: Knicks 124 – Wizards 98
