NBA preseasonKnicksHoliday Monday

A Knicks game at the Garden is a New York rite, and a preseason game is the most gettable version of that ticket. Minnesota visits on the holiday Monday, giving you an early look at both rotations before the regular season tips off. If you want MSG basketball energy without playoff prices or playoff pressure, this is your chance to go.

What to expect

Expect a full game-night production with starters playing limited minutes and younger players getting a long look in the second half. The crowd is lighter than a regular-season game but still loud, and it is a relaxed night to bring kids or a first-timer to the Garden.

Good to know

  • MSG sits above Penn Station; the 1, 2, 3, A, C and E trains stop underneath.
  • Preseason minutes for stars are unpredictable, so do not buy only to see one player.
  • Bags larger than 22 x 14 x 9 inches are not allowed.
  • It is a good first Knicks game for kids.
  • Download your mobile ticket before arriving.
