The Celtics haven't lost a road game since Jan. 11 and are on a seven-game overall winning streak. They'll take on the Knicks, a team they've already beaten three times this season and that just ended a four-game losing streak themselves.
Boston has a solid seven-game lead for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, while the Knicks remain steadily in fourth but just three games away from the No. 2 Cavaliers.
The last time these two sides faced off, Boston won 133-123 on Dec. 8 behind 30 points from Derrick White and 25 from Jayson Tatum. Jalen Brunson led New York with 23 points. This was also the game Knicks forward Mitchell Robinson suffered a serious ankle injury. He hasn't played since.
This is a different Knicks team than before – and not in a good way. Robinson remains out for the forseeable future, while OG Anunoby and Julius Randle haven't played since Jan. 27 with elbow and shoulder injuries, respectively. R.J. Barrett and Immanuel Quickley – who combined for 40 points in the last match with the Celtics – are gone as well after they were traded to the Raptors for Anunoby.
The Knicks also added sharp-shooting forward Bojan Bogdanovic, though, who's averaged 16 points in his three games with the team. He and Brunson will be in charge of leading New York against Boston.
The Celtics, meanwhile, remain a juggernaut with Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis. That trio averages 69.2 points per game this year.
