Boston Celtics Form

Boston head to the ‘Big Apple’ looking to issue an immediate response to their season-opening defeat.

The Celtics hosted Philadelphia on Tuesday night, and came up short as they were beaten 117-116 by the 76ers.

They had gone into that game on the back of a pre-season campaign that saw them win three of their four games.

Boston opened with back-to-back road games, and failed to build on a 121-103 win in Memphis as they lost 107-105 at Toronto.

The Celtics rebounded on their home court however, as they backed up a 138-107 win over Cleveland with a 110-108 victory against Toronto.

New York Knicks Form

New York enter this matchup looking to maintain their unbeaten record, having opened the season with a victory.

The Knicks tipped off the campaign at home to Cleveland on Tuesday, and despite being a home underdog they downed the Cavaliers 119-111.

That victory continue a solid run of form from pre-season that saw them win four of their five games.

New York began their pre-season slate with back-to-back victories over Philadelphia, winning 99-84 and 113-104.

The Knicks then beat Minnesota 100-95 in overtime, before rebounding from a 120-103 loss to Washington with a 113-108 victory against Charlotte.

Verdict

New York ousted Boston in the playoffs last season, and we expect them to beat the Celtics again tonight.

The Knicks’ improved depth was on show in their season-opener and can help them get over the line in this one too.
