With a crowded roster approaching playoff time, the Knicks must navigate minutes and rotations effectively. After trading bench players for offensive upgrades, figuring out who will be in the nine-man playoff rotation is crucial. The return of key players like OG Anunoby and Julius Randle further complicates Thibodeau's decisions.
Multiple players, including Josh Hart and Anunoby himself, are vying for significant playing time. Tinkering with lineups and ensuring the right chemistry will be key for the Knicks as they aim to build on last season's success.
