The New York Knicks will not learn their next postseason opponent until the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers finish their current playoff series. The decision—expected after the best-of-seven matchup concludes—will determine whom New York meets in the upcoming round.
The Celtics and 76ers remain locked in their series as of May 1, 2026. Once a winner is declared, the NBA will release dates and times for the following games involving the Knicks.
No matter which club advances, the matchup will renew a long-standing Atlantic Division rivalry for New York on the postseason stage.
