The New York Knicks (44-28), officially the latest occupant of the Eastern Conference’s third seed, find themselves deep in the heart of Texas tonight to take on Victor Wembanyama and the third-worst team in the league, the San Antonio Spurs (17-56).
The Knicks enter tonight’s game trailing the second-place Milwaukee Bucks by just 1.5 games, due to Milwaukee’s loss to the Pelicans last night. With such a close gap and a matchup between the two teams slated for April 7, second place could go back-and-forth between the two teams until the final game of the season.
