The Boston Celtics host the New York Knicks at TD Garden on the second game of a back-to-back as they hope to stave off yet another losing streak after dropping a game on Tuesday evening to the Philadelphia 76ers at home. They’ll face a hungry Knicks squad who nearly picked off the Brooklyn Nets in their last contest, and the outcome might prove important in the looming playoff seeding race.
They’ll likely have to do it without starting point guard Kemba Walker as he has been resting on the back end of consecutive games this season so far, but also without veteran shooting guard Evan Fournier, back in the league’s health and safety protocols for the second time in a week.
The Celtics certainly have their work cut out for them against the seventh-place Knicks.
