The Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks will meet at TD Garden in the NBA on Sunday. The Celts (34-18) are second in the Eastern Conference, while the Knicks (33-19) are third. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Boston Celtics are in excellent form of late, currently riding a five-game win streak after pulling off a stunning comeback to beat the Heat 98-96 on Friday night.
As a team, the C’s shot 42% from the field and made 10 of their 36 three-point attempts in that match. Jaylen Brown led the team with 29 points, while WHite added 21, including a clutch three-pointer to take the lead in Q4.
Boston are 17-8 at home and have split their two games against this opponent this season. Jayson Tatum is out, while Sam Hauser is listed as a doubt.
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have also been in great shape lately, but they saw their eight-game win streak ended on Friday when they lost to the Pistons 118-80.
Despite missing all of Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby and Miles McBride, a better performance was expected by the Knicks. Jalen Brunson only scored 12 points in the defeat.
The Knicks’ away record is much less impressive than at home (11-13). They will be without Miles McBride, and have Josh Hart, Anunoby and KAT listed as questionable.

Our Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Knicks were on a tear before coming up against the Pistons on Friday. While they were short-handed in that match, a 30+ point defeat was certainly unexpected.
Anunoby and Towns are also listed as doubts for this match, which is a concern for the Knicks, especially since they are set to face the Celtics, who are now on a five-game win streak and have a very impressive recent home record. Therefore, our Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks prediction is Boston Celtics -2.5.
