Where Knicks, Nets Stand

The Knicks are riding a four-game win streak after an impressive 109-104 home victory against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. Former Duke star RJ Barrett scored a team-high 28 points to lead four players in double figures for the Knicks.

The Hornets are coming off a 113-109 home loss to the Denver Nuggets on Monday, dropping them to ninth place in the Eastern Conference. Miles Bridges had 27 points with 11 rebounds and LaMelo Ball added 22 points, 11 assists and six rebounds to lead the way for Charlotte.

The Knicks sit in 11th place in the East and are virtually eliminated from playoff competition. The Knicks trail 10th-place Atlanta by 4.5 games.

The top 10 teams have a chance at the playoffs in each conference in the NBA. The first six are assured slots and are seeded 1 through 6.

The teams that finish 7-10 would then compete in a “play-in.” It works like this:

The 7th-place team (currently Cleveland in the East) would host the 8th-place team (Brooklyn). The winner gets the 7th seed.

Speaking of Brooklyn, the oddsmakers still are high on the Nets making a run. Even today, with a 40-36 record, the Nets are +450 to win the NBA title, per DraftKings.

Meanwhile, the 9th-place team (now Charlotte) would host the 10th-place Hawks. The winner of that game would meet the loser of the 7-8 game for the 8th and final seed.
