New York Knicks Form

New York enter this game on a strong run of form, having won 11 of their last 14 games to improve their record to 13-6.

The Knicks opened November with a five-game win streak, before cooling off over the next couple of weeks as they struggled to string wins together.

They rebounded from a 124-107 loss to Orlando with a 140-132 win at home to Miami, and then bounced back from a 115-113 loss at the Heat with a 113-111 success in Dallas.

New York failed to follow that up as they lost 133-121 in Orlando, but they responded with a 113-100 win at Brooklyn, and this time they followed it up.

The Knicks won 129-101 in Charlotte, before returning home to beat Milwaukee 118-109 and Toronto 116-94.

Boston Celtics Form

Boston go into this matchup on a solid run of form, having won six of their last eight games to take their record to 11-9.

The Celtics began this sequence with a three-game run in the middle of November that started with home wins over Memphis, 131-95, and the LA Clippers, 121-118.

They then made it three-in-a-row with a 113-99 victory in Brooklyn, only to lose 113-105 when they returned home to face the Nets a few days later.

Boston bounced back at home as they beat Orlando 138-129 and then downed Detroit 117-114.

The Celtics failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 119-115 at Minnesota, but they did rebound at the first attempt as they won 117-115 in Cleveland.

Verdict

Boston have been on an improved run recently, but it is the Knicks who have more momentum.

They have also repeatedly got the better of the Celtics in recent times, so we are backing the Knicks to silence TD Garden tonight.
