Knicks 2024 Playoff Schedule: Every playoff game (updated)

The New York Knicks season this year is one for the ages. Before the turn of the 2024 calendar year, the Knicks were sitting with a record of 17-15 as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. Then the biggest trade of the year happened where the Knicks traded for OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa in exchange for R.J Barrett and Immanuel Quickley.

From there the script changed, the Knicks went 14-2 in the month of January and sat comfortably as the No. 3 seed in the east with a record of 31-17. Sadly, during that month, disaster struck when All-Star forward Julius Randle suffered a shoulder dislocation that would end up requiring season-ending surgery. Then their key acquisition in OG Anunoby was sidelined for 27 of their last 36 games with an elbow injury.

They persevered and ended up as the second seed in the Eastern Conference and finished with their first 50-win season in over a decade. Jalen Brunson is receiving All-NBA first-team votes, Donte DiVincenzo made the most 3s in a season in Knick history, and everybody is playing lock-down defense.

Now that the Knicks are sitting in the two seed, that means that their opponent is going to be either Philadelphia 76ers or the Miami Heat. Their play in game is Wednesday April 17, 7:00 p.m. ET, ESPN. Either way, the Knicks went 3-1 against the 76ers, 1-0 when Joel Embiid played, and 2-1 against the Miami Heat.

Even though the Knicks opponent is undecided at this point in time, we still have their first round playoff schedule.
