The Celtics have clinched home-court advantage throughout the playoffs and play a potential postseason opponent against the Knicks on Thursday April 11 in Boston.

The Celtics are trying to stay healthy for the postseason. In a 104-91 loss the Bucks on Tuesday night, Boston forward/center Al Horford was sidelined with a sprained toe and and Kristaps Porzingis was held out of the lineup after missing five games in March with a sprained right hamstring.

Center Kristaps Porzingis was named the NBA’s Eastern Conference Player of the Week for April 1-7, averaging 19.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks per game for the Celtics, who went 4-0 over that stretch and have the best record in the NBA.

The Knicks are also getting ready to try and make a deep run in the playoffs and hold the No. 3 seed behind Milwaukee after beating the Bulls 128-117 on Tuesday night.

Jalen Brunson scored 45 points, joining Bernard King and Patrick Ewing as the only Knicks players with multiple streaks of 40-point games in one season. Brunson made seven 3-pointers for his second straight 40-point game.
