The Eastern Conference’s second-seeded New York Knicks (50-32) will take on the seventh-seeded Philadelphia 76ers (47-35), who advanced through the play-in tournament, in the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs. The two franchises haven’t faced off in the postseason since 1989; we probably don’t have to break those matchups down too much to see what they can teach us about this series.
