Westchester clinched the number one overall seed in the Eastern Conference, earning a bye into the second round, with the Raptor 905's loss last Thursday to the Agua Caliente Clippers, the Los Angeles Clippers' affiliate. The playoffs will begin with three single-elimination rounds before culminating with a best-of-three NBA G League Finals, which will be played in a one-one-one format. This marks Westchester's second-ever playoffs appearance after clinching its first-ever berth in the 2015-16 season.

Led by head coach Mike Miller, the Westchester Knicks finished the regular season with a 32-18 record, marking a new season-high in wins for the franchise. The 2017-18 season saw four NBA Call-Ups for Westchester, the most in team history: Trey Burke to the New York Knicks, Nigel Hayes to the Los Angeles Lakers and the Toronto Raptors, and Xavier Rathan-Mayes to the Memphis Grizzlies. Luke Kornet and Isaiah Hicks, Two-Way players for the New York Knicks, highlight the Westchester's roster along with the recent addition of Washington Wizards Two-Way player Devin Robinson, on flexible assignment with Westchester as Washington has no NBA G League affiliate.
