The New York Knicks move into the closing days of the 2025-26 NBA regular season with their postseason fate still unsettled. Each remaining game will influence where the club finishes in the Eastern Conference standings and who it will face when the playoffs open.
The final stretch carries weight for potential home-court advantage, overall seeding and the difficulty of the first-round matchup. Coaches and players are treating every possession as critical, aiming to tighten rotations and maintain momentum before the playoff bracket is set.
With only a handful of contests left on the calendar, New York’s performance this week will determine whether the team begins the postseason at Madison Square Garden or on the road—and could shape the trajectory of its playoff run.
