On the remote chance The Post’s appeals to the gods go unheeded, Patrick Ewing and the Knicks have their own covert operations in place.

Before Tuesday’s NBA Draft Lottery, in which the Knicks (allegedly) have a 14 percent chance of landing the No. 1 pick and Zion Williamson, the New York icon allowed that of course the fix is in.

Asked on “The Dan Patrick Show” how he’ll guarantee the Knicks get lucky, Ewing offered: “I can’t tell you. I tell you, I gotta kill you, and I love you, Dan.

“I’m hoping I can repeat that magical day or magical night and the Knicks are able to come away with the No. 1 pick.”

That magical night came in 1985, when then-commissioner David Stern drew the Knicks’ envelope at No. 1, letting the Georgetown star (and current Georgetown head coach) call the Garden home.

Since that night, conspiracies have flowed about how, exactly, the big-market Knicks, who had the same shot as six other teams, landed No. 1. Ewing appears to favor one theory.

“I’m not sure what’s going to happen [Tuesday],” he told Fox Sports. “I’m not sure which envelope’s going to be the cold envelope, like everyone always tells me. All I can do is just wish them all the best.”
