Game Preview
After winning 9 consecutive at home, the Boston Celtics (15-5) face the New York Knicks (12-8) on December 8 at TD Garden.
The New York Knicks seem to be playing well lately, they have prevailed in 4 of their previous 6 games overall, but they will be looking to return back to their previous level after losing to the Bucks 146-122 on the road in their last game. With 41 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists on 14 of 19 shots, Julius Randle topped the squad. RJ Barrett scored 23 points, Jalen Brunson contributed 24 points, and both players added 6 assists. The New York Knicks are converting 74.6% of their free throw attempts and 37.5% of their shots from beyond the arc and they are pulling down 46.1 rebounds per game while giving up only 37% of shots from beyond the arc.
The Boston Celtics, meantime, had been winning 3 straight games before they were stopped cold by the Pacers in their last game, losing 122-112 on the road. With 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists on 13 of 26 shots, Jayson Tatum paced the team. Jaylen Brown followed with 30 points and 9 rebounds on 14 of 23 shots, and Derrick White finished with 18 points and 8 assists. The Boston Celtics are converting 36.2% of their 3-pointers into free throws and 78.9 % from the charity stripe and are pulling down 47.5 rebounds per game while giving up 36.2% shooting from beyond the arc.
Kristaps Porzingis is still listed as doubtful for this game, so the Celtics could be lacking again, but before they ran into a roadblock versus the Pacers in their previous game, they were playing excellent basketball. The Celtics were humiliated in their most recent game, which was played back on Monday, but the Knicks are certainly capable of pulling off the shock on the road.
