Current home stretch pivotal to Knicks’ playoff chances
NY Post
Like all NBA playoff contenders, the Knicks hope to avoid the play-in scenarios that will involve the teams that finish the regular season in seventh through 10th place in each conference.
At the very least, Sunday’s game against the Raptors at the Garden holds major significance for the Knicks’ chance of finishing in the top 10 in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors, before their game at Cleveland on Saturday night, were in the 11th position, 5 ¹/₂ games behind the Knicks. The Cavaliers entered Saturday a half-game behind Toronto in 12th place. RJ Barrett noted the importance for the Knicks of taking advantage of their current stretch of scheduling: They have nine of 11 games at home, which began with Friday’s rousing overtime win over the Grizzlies.More Related News
