Knicks Hold 3‑4 Seed Options as Playoff Clock Ticks

With the regular season ending on April 6, the Knicks remain 3rd in the East, one game ahead of the Cavaliers. A 2nd‑seed finish is out of reach as the Celtics lead by 2.5 games. The franchise locks in a home‑court advantage for the first round but may face a road second‑round series in Boston if they finish third.

The remaining schedule includes games against the Celtics, Raptors and Hornets, after which playoff matchups will be set.
