"An Atlantic Division matchup takes place at Madison Square Garden tonight as the New York Knicks welcome the Boston Celtics to town. New York dispatched Boston with a six-game series win in the 2025 Eastern Conference Semifinals during last season's postseason run. Boston will be seeking revenge for the postseason defeat, but the Celtics lineup is significantly less spooky without All-Star Jayson Tatum this time around."
"New York won a tough 119-111 opener against Cleveland, headlined by OG Anunoby's 24-point, 14-rebound performance. The Knicks secured a fourth-quarter advantage and never looked back in the nine point win. Jalen Brunson struggled shooting the ball (5-of-19), but still posted 23 points in New York's first win of the season. Boston dropped its first contest, 117-116, after Payton Pritchard missed a 13-foot jump shot to win the game with one second left on the clock."
The New York Knicks host the Boston Celtics at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 24, 2025. New York beat Boston in six games during the 2025 Eastern Conference Semifinals and enters the matchup with confidence. Boston is operating without All-Star Jayson Tatum after a season-ending Achilles injury, leaving Jaylen Brown as the primary superstar. The Knicks opened the season with a 119-111 win over Cleveland, led by OG Anunoby's 24 points and 14 rebounds; Jalen Brunson scored 23 despite poor shooting (5-of-19). Boston lost 117-116 to Philadelphia when Payton Pritchard missed a potential game-winner; Brown scored 25 in that game. DraftKings lists New York as a 3.5-point favorite with a negative money line for the Knicks.
