The in-form New York Knicks travel to take on the Boston Celtics when they return to action in the NBA. Currently sitting second in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks are 2.5 games clear of the Celtics, who are down in eighth. Read on to find our prediction for this match. 

The Celtics are looking to tie up this series after falling in the first meeting. Joe Mazzulla’s men have significantly improved since that October matchup. 

They have won seven of their 11 total victories in their last 10 outings. Boston got back to winning ways last time out with a strong showing against the Cavaliers on the road. Neemias Queta and Derrick White are listed as questionable for this game.

The Knicks are in hot form at the moment and are coming into this match as favorites to win. Mike Brown’s men haven’t lost any of their last four games, which has led to them improving to 13-6. 

The Knicks, who have been at home three times in this streak, overpowered the Raptors 116-94 last time out. The win moved them to two games above .500. 

O.G. Anunoby remains sidelined and will not be available for this trip. Landry Shamet is also unavailable.
