Knicks Seeding Remains Uncertain Amid East Standings Shakeup

The Knicks enter the final stretch of the season with three possible seeding scenarios in the Eastern Conference: No. 2, No. 3 or No. 4. While a No. 2 seed would give them the top seed advantage, the Celtics are 2.5 games ahead, making it a tough climb. The Knicks are currently the No. 3 seed, 1 game ahead of the Cavaliers, and are assured home‑court advantage in the first round. A third‑seed finish would force a second‑round series on the road in Boston.

The team’s remaining schedule includes a key matchup against the Celtics on April 9, followed by games against the Raptors, Hornets and a final home game. The Knicks’ playoff fate hinges on these results and the performance of other East teams.
