The two have faced each other twice this year, with both teams splitting the games 1-1.
New York Knicks
The New York Knicks are still a bad team this year. The team recently destroyed the Phoenix Suns, by 22 points. New York was led by Enes Kanter who finished the game with 20 on 8 of 10 shooting from the floor. Porzingis added 19 points in the road win.
The Knicks need a lot of work. New York relies heavily on Kristaps Porzingis and rightfully so. He is averaging 23.1 points per game this year. Tim Hardaway Jr., has also been good for the Knicks this year.
He is averaging 18 points per game this season.
Enes Kanter has been the “glue guy” for the Knicks this season. Kanter is averaging 13.8 points and 10 rebound per game this season. He also brings toughness and defense around the rim.
The Knicks just need one more piece in order to be taken serious in the East.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Defensively, New York is allowing 106.2 points per game this year. Good enough to rank the Knicks 17th in points allowed this year. If the Knicks can play defense like they did against Phoenix their last time out, New York will take the Celtics to the wire.
The Knicks have talent, but don’t seem to play discipline enough to close out close games.
Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are looking to get back on track after a recent lapse on the road. The Celtics beat Denver in their last game by one point. The game before the win at Denver, Boston took a tough road loss at Golden State, 109-105.
Both Kyrie Irving and Steph Curry stole the show in the prime-time matchup. Irving had 37 points in the loss.
The Celtics are one of the most well rounded teams in the NBA this season. Kyrie Irving is playing at an All NBA level again this year. He is averaging 25 points per game this season.
Aside from Irving’s play, the Celtics have five other players averaging double figures in points this year. Jaylon Brown has played like a most improved player of the year candidate this season.

Free New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
The Knicks are going to need a team effort on the road against Boston. New York does have the “Unicorn” but not enough around him to be considered a good team in the East.
Boston has more than enough talent on their roster to handle the Knicks at TD Garden. Look for a big game from Kyrie Irving and Jaylon Brown. Brown is emerging as the teams best two way player this year.
