The New York Knicks will take on the Orlando Magic on national TV
The New York Knicks (42-32) are four games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers (46-28) for the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference. Should both teams hold ground, they’ll face each other in the first round of the playoffs with Cleveland getting home-court advantage.
New York has eight games to catch up with Cleveland while hoping the Cavaliers will falter for a chance to grab the fourth seed. The Knicks can start that with tonight’s matchup against the Magic.

Meanwhile, Orlando is also desperate to at least get a shot at the play-in tournament. The Magic own a 30-43 record which puts them in 13th place in the east. They are 4.5 games behind the Chicago Bulls (34-38) for the 10th seed and final play-in ticket.
Orlando is winless against New York this season in two games. They’re looking to improve their record and spoil New York’s top-four bid.
NBA fans will love the rematch between the OKC Thunder and LA Clippers
The LA Clippers lost 101-100 to the OKC Thunder on Tuesday night. Kawhi Leonard was bottled up by Lu Dort in the final seconds to hand the Thunder the win.
The Clippers will be looking to get some revenge, but they will have to do it without Paul George. “PG13” injured his right knee after colliding with Dort during a rebound play.
LA will undoubtedly miss the All-Star forward’s presence, but the Clippers are deep and well-balanced. They’ve proven that they can win without George, so they should still feel confident about getting a win on their home floor.
The Clippers' loss dropped their record to 38-35 but they managed to keep the fifth seed. They’re only half a game behind the Phoenix Suns (38-34), who are in fourth place with a first-round home-court advantage.
The OKC Thunder, on the other hand, are finishing their season strong. They are 8-2 over their last 10 games and are looking to even gain a top-six finish and outright playoff berth.
In what is quickly becoming one of the shocking storylines of the season: the OKC Thunder have just moved into 7th place in the Western Conference and have guaranteed the tiebreakers over both the Clippers and Mavericks. They are now 1 loss behind said 5th seeded Clippers.
Oklahoma’s back-to-back wins against the Clippers and the Phoenix Suns have pushed their record to 36-36 and in eighth place in the Western Conference. They are 2.5 games behind the Suns for the fourth seed.
Another win against the Clippers will help them to a top-six finish while pulling their opponents down the standings.
