Tom Thibodeau's fifth-seeded New York Knicks are squaring up against J.B. Bickerstaff's fourth-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the NBA playoffs. We found tickets to see Jalen Brunson, RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, Immanuel Quickley, Quentin Grimes and Julius Randle take on Donovan Mitchell's Cavs.
