Before the 2022-23 NBA season began, Knicks starting point guard Jalen Brunson predicted the squad would make the playoffs.
Seven months later, he has been prophetic.
After the regular season comes to an end on April 9, Tom Thibodeau’s fifth-seeded New York Knicks will face off against J.B. Bickerstaff’s fourth-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
And if you want tickets to cheer for the Brunson as well as stars RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, Immanuel Quickley, Quentin Grimes and (fingers crossed) the injured Julius Randle take on Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs at New York’s Madison Square Garden, you can still snag last-minute seats.
That being said, there are no truly cheap tickets on the market.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we found was $242 before fees on Vivid Seats.
However, when every second counts, it’s hard to put a value on rooting for the Knicks at the Garden in the playoffs.
