The Knicks are playing bad basketball over the last month, and have lost 11 out of 13. New York will look for some way to beat a tough Boston team at the Garden on Wednesday.
The Celtics have won seven of eight and continue to improve under the tutelage of coach Brad Stevens. They’ll look to make it eight of nine on Wednesday night.
New York Knicks
The Knicks are really struggling and seem to be imploding recently. New York has just two wins over the last 13 games and have been losing to teams that it shouldn’t be losing to.
The Knicks lost to the 76ers on a buzzer beater the other night, which sums up the play of this team so far in 2017.

The drama centered around this team hasn’t helped things either. Point guard Derrick Rose was MIA from a game last week and is playing some really poor basketball for this team.
The Knicks as a whole are playing poor basketball. Defensively, the team has been terrible.
The Knicks have given up 105 or more points in nine of the last 13 games, including getting demolished on the defensive end by Houston, who put up 129 on them.

Forward Kristaps Porzingis has been the bright spot for this team and is having a great sophomore season.
He’s averaging 19.4 points per game on 45% shooting. He’s also shooting 40% from behind the arc. Add in 7.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game, and you’ve got a solid all-around player for this team.
Boston Celtics
Boston has been very good all year, and are currently 3rd in the Eastern Conference behind Cleveland and Toronto.
Point guard Isaiah Thomas has taken hit a new level of play this season.
He’s one of the league leaders in points per game, averaging 28.4 and playing absolutely clutch basketball in late-game situations for the Celtics.
He’s also tallying over six assists per contest.
Guard Avery Bradley has been a huge help for Boston this year. He’s putting up 17.7 points per game on just about 48% shooting from the field.
The Celtics have been a solid offensive team. The team averages an 8th best 107 points per game.
The defense has been a bit more average, but still isn’t bad. In a season where teams like the Knicks are allowing 129 points to the Rockets, Boston has done a decent job.

The Celtics give up 104.5 points per game, good enough for 14th in the NBA.
Beating the Knicks shouldn’t prove too difficult as long as the offense is firing on all cylinders. Look for Isaiah Thomas to have an explosive performance against a poor defensive team.
