The Knicks could really help their lottery odds by losing out the final four games. They have their work cut out for them tonight – the 20-58 Magic without Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Issac, Wendell Carter Jr., Frank Wagner, Bol Bol. – 6:08 PM

No Franz Wagner today, so the list of players to start every game this season is down to just two guys:
Mikal Bridges
Saddiq Bey – 4:43 PM

Quentin Grimes will warm up and see if he’s good to go. Same with Miles McBride. – 4:32 PM

Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
With this 118-112 win over the Bucks, the Mavs ensure they’ll finish the regular season winless against just 3 teams:
The NBA-best Suns and the lottery-bound Knicks and Wizards. – 4:02 PM
Ian Begley @IanBegley
From earlier: Big opportunity for Obi Toppin, who will likely get extended mins in NYK’s final 4 games; a thought on analyzing Julius Randle’s body language from afar; note on Darius Garland, who, like Donovan Mitchell, had late pre-draft workout for NYK: sny.tv/articles/knick…3:53 PM
Frank Madden @fmaddenNBA
Kidd and company have had a terrific gameplan to slow Giannis and Middleton’s been just abysmal when they’ve needed him so far. Meanwhile, Luka getting guys open three looks at will on the other side. Bucks’ recent fourth quarter magic notably absent so far. – 3:22 PM
Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP
Celtics shoot a season-high 61.5% and record their 3rd 40-point win, 144-102.
If the Bucks (down 8 with 5:00 left) don’t come back, Boston goes into 2nd in the East.
Updated magic numbers for the Celtics…
5-seed: 1 (Chicago)
4-seed: 2 (Toronto)
1-seed: 5 (Miami/Milwaukee) – 3:14 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
The Celtics finished just one assist shy of 40. Their 39 assists still marks the franchise’s most in a single game since Jan. 27, 2017 against the Magic – also a team @joshuabrobbins covered. – 3:14 PM
David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc
I was at that game that Van Gundy referenced, when Roy Tarpley came into the Garden and destroyed the Knicks, in March of ‘88. He dominated Pat Ewing: 29 points (13 of 17 from the floor), and 24 rebounds. He sure did look like a superstar. Fell apart for him soon after. – 2:55 PM

Kansas’ Bill Self: “I’m thrilled for [the seniors]. When we recruited David McCormack and Ochai Agbaji, they were not the headliners. The headliners were Devon Dotson and Quentin Grimes. … I’m happy that they were able to experience what this is all about.” #kubball12:55 PM
Ian Begley @IanBegley
From earlier: “Obviously the Derrick who was in Chicago…is not the Derrick who is in New York now…But the emotional lift that he has for (his team) is still the same.”

Quentin Grimes (sore right knee) and Miles McBride (sore right knee) are both listed as QUESTIONABLE for tonight’s game in Orlando. Julius Radle is OUT. Thibodeau said yesterday he’s “most likely” done for the season. – 12:17 PM
