The Boston Celtics return from their mini-road trip to host the New York Knicks at TD Garden this Tuesday (Dec. 2) evening as the Celtics try to remain in the win column after picking up another quality victory against a highly-regarded Eastern Conference ball club in their last tilt.

The Knicks are another East team that has not quite lived up to expectations so far this season, and Boston has some extra motivation to beat the team that sent them fishing in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series. Some real upset potential looms here for the Knicks, but it will take a serious effort from the Celtics to pull off.
