Knicks Playoff Watch: Magic Numbers, Clinching Scenarios, More

The start of March brings a new form of madness and the New York Knicks are heavily involved.

With the All-Star break and trade deadline hurdles cleared, the NBA's push for the postseason is in full swing. The final quarter-plus of the regular season has the Knicks on solid ground, as they're once again in prime contention for a top three spot on the Eastern bracket. New York is also in prime position to secure another 50-win season as it seeks to finally break its long-lasting drought of conference final appearances ... and perhaps even more.

Keep track of the Knicks' path to the 2025 playoffs below, featuring up-to-the-minute standings, magic numbers, and clinching scenarios if applicable:
