The Knicks’ play-in chances are almost dead. Strength of schedule doesn’t favor the Celtics, either

With each loss, the playoffs are becoming more and more unlikely for the New York Knicks. They dropped their fifth straight Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers—and ninth in 10 games—and have the fifth-toughest remaining schedule in the NBA, according to Tankathon.

At 4.5 games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference and final spot in the play-in tournament – with 21 games left – the Knicks will need a major run to keep the hope alive.
