The New York Knicks entered Easter Sunday with a 44-29 record, good for fourth place in the Eastern Conference. They have two weeks and nine games remaining, and currently possess the fourth-hardest remaining schedule. Still, it looks all but certain that the Knicks will qualify for the 2024 NBA Playoffs in the top six of the East. But as the Knicks hope to make their deepest playoff run in 20 years, who is available and who will return from injury to help?
Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau generally plays a nine or 10-man rotation, but that whittles down in the postseason. Health obviously plays a role in who’s in and who’s out. Ideally, the rotation is Jalen Brunson-Donte DiVincenzo-OG Anunoby-Julius Randle-Isaiah Hartenstein-Mitchell Robinson-Miles McBride-Josh Hart-Precious Achiuwa. Technically, Bojan Bogdanovic should be in the rotation, too, but he has shown too little to justify being included. Let’s review who’s healthy and able to contribute.
