Two historic Eastern Conference teams that have shared plenty of success in the NBA over the years will square off in the regular season on Saturday evening. The Boston Celtics will be looking to get one over their long-time rivals as they take on the New York Knicks. Both teams are in the bottom reaches of the Eastern Conference standings, and they will be looking to climb up the rankings starting on Saturday.
The Boston Celtics came out second best against the Golden State Warriors in their last game. But they will still have plenty of confidence, having beaten the Milwaukee Bucks in their game prior to the Warriors one. After a tough run of games, Jayson Tatum and the Celtics will be confident of beating the New York Knicks and starting their fightback.
Problems off the court have heavily impacted the New York Knicks so far this season. After making the playoffs last season, the Knicks are struggling in 12th place at the moment. All is not lost just yet though, and the Knicks can still make the playoffs with ease. But they are on a 3-7 run at the moment and will need to do a lot better in their coming games.
The game will be broadcast locally in the New York Knicks market on the MSG channel and in the Boston Celtics market on NBC Sports Boston. The game will also be broadcast live nationally on NBA TV, with a live stream available on fuboTV.
