T.J. McConnell drives it up. The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers are absolutely right where they should be, playing for absolutely nothing on Wednesday, the final night of the NBA’s regular season. The Sixers and Knicks did the right thing in essentially punting the final parts of 2016-17: New York ensures its top-six status in May’s NBA draft lottery with a loss on Wednesday, and Philadelphia could be two losses (Lakers and 76ers) and some lottery luck away from ending up with two top-five picks in this June’s draft.
