The New York Knicks have an opportunity to secure the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference on Sunday afternoon. With their final game of the regular season, the Knicks simply need to extract a victory against a thinned Boston Celtics team to retain their spot.
After overcoming the Charlotte Hornets in overtime on Saturday afternoon, the Knicks were gifted with a Miami loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. If New York retains the fourth spot, they will have a home-court contest in the first round of the playoffs.
Remaining consistent and playing Knicks basketball is all they need to beat Boston, who will be without a majority of their starters.
