2. New York Knicks
Total points: 36
2014-15 record: 17-65
@espnnba #espnforecast New York won't be as bad as expected. Robin Lopez was a great pick-up, and fits nicely in Fisher's offense.

2014-15 record: 21-61

4. Dallas Mavericks

2014-15 record: 50-32
@espnnba #ESPNForecast Dallas will have a tough time without Tyson Chandler. However, if Wesley Matthews performs well, they will be OK.
