Knicks Seeding Scenarios: 2nd, 3rd or 4th in East

The Knicks are currently the Eastern Conference’s No. 3 seed, one game ahead of the Cavaliers, and can finish as high as No. 2 or as low as No. 4. A No. 2 finish would be challenging with the Celtics 2.5 games ahead. A No. 3 finish would lock in a home first‑round series but could lead to a second‑round road game in Boston. The team’s final three games are against the Celtics, Raptors and Hornets, all of which could impact their seeding.
