BOSTON — P.J. Tucker has not played a single minute for the Knicks this postseason. Since signing with the Knicks in March, he entered Wednesday’s Game 5 clash against the Celtics at TD Garden with 25 DNP’s, appearing in just three regular-season games.

Jayson Tatum being sidelined with a ruptured Achilles may make the Celtics an easier opponent in theory, but the Knicks aren’t approaching a closeout Game 5 with that mindset.

The New York Knicks are favored to make it to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. Oklahoma City remains the overall favorite.

Dave Portnoy is spilling the tea on his close encounter with a Celtics rival.

The fourth-seeded Pacers booked their return to the Eastern Conference Finals with Tuesday night’s 114-105 victory over the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, wrapping up a stunning series victory in only five games. Haliburton led the way with 31 points on 10-of-15 shooting, including 6-of-10 on 3-pointers, along with eight assists and six rebounds.

The New York Knicks' salary cap limitations may not stop them from pursuing a potential trade for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, according to SNY's Ian Begley.

Manhattan basketball coach Castelli "Stelli" Laflotte, 34, drained an epic half-court shot at a Knicks game in January, winning $1,000 cash and a new Kia SUV.

The 27-year-old was spotted courtside along with her boyfriend, actor Timothee Chalamet, and her sister, Kendall Jenner. It seemed the public appearance doubled as a date night as the supermodel was accompanied by her boyfriend, rapper Bad Bunny.
