Albert Bainbridge IV, NorthJersey.com

The New York Knicks are back in the playoffs for the third time in four years after posting their first 50-win season since the 2012-13 season.

They clinched the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference on Sunday, the final day of the regular season, with a 120-119 thrilling overtime victory over the Chicago Bulls, and the Milwaukee Bucks, without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, falling to the Orlando Magic, 113-88.

The Knicks will now host the winner of the NBA Play-in Tournament game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center.

While the Knicks await to see who their opponent will be in the first round, it's not too early to buy tickets for the series opener that's already been announced.

Here's what you need to know about when Game 1 will take place and where to get tickets for the Knicks' first playoff game:

Despite not yet knowing who their opponent will be between the 76ers or Heat, it's been confirmed by the NBA that the Knicks will open their 2024 postseason run on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.

Owning the second-best record in the Eastern Conference this season means the Knicks will have home-court advantage through at least the first two rounds, with Games 1, 2 and 5 and 7 (if necessary), taking place in the Big Apple.
