Taking a look at who's hot and who's not on the local sports landscape:

Three Up:

1. Rick Nash

After a slow start, Nash has seven points in his last six games. He has 23 on the season.

2. Kristaps Porzingis

The kid had another big night, this time against the NBA's other premier rookie: Karl-Anthony Towns. Porzingis dropped 11 points and finished with seven blocks. The Knicks beat the Timberwolves, 107-102.

3. Bartolo Colon

He's back with the Mets on a brand new contract. Baseball is better when he's part of the game.

Three Down:

1. Nets

They fell to 7-18 after losing to the Miami Heat on Wednesday night.

2. Anders Lee

A breakout scorer for the Islanders last season, Lee has just two points in his past 10 games.

3. Barclays Center Security

An arena security guard reportedly threw punches at a fan who was trying to take a picture of a video-board tribute to a deceased family member that had been paid for by that family. Not cool.
