New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics Live Stream: Watch NBA Online
The New York Knicks face the Boston Celtics on January 18th, 2017 at the TD Garden. Here is all the information you need to watch the game.
The New York Knicks and Boston Celtics will face off tonight for the third time this season. The Celtics have won both meetings thus far, with the last one coming on Christmas Day. It was a thrilling game, as the Knicks comeback came just short after a furious attempt in the fourth quarter.
Heading into that game the teams were right next to each other in the standings. The Knicks were 16-13 and the Celtics were 17-13. Since that game, the two teams have headed in opposite directions.
The Knicks have been in a free fall that started Christmas Day. Since then, the Knicks are 2-11 and now in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics, meanwhile, have taken off. They have gone 9-2 in that stretch and are now in third place in the Eastern Conference.
It will be a tall task for the struggling Knicks against the Celtics tonight. They are dealing with a number of injuries, as their front court has been hit hard recently by the injury bug. Lance Thomas will be out after suffering an orbital fracture Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Kristaps Porzingis is questionable with his Achilles/heel injury, and Joakim Noah is also questionable.

It would be a huge blow if all three of those players are out as the Celtics are very deep and talented in their front court. If that trio is unable to suit up, expect Mindaugas Kuzminskas to be in the starting lineup again next to Kyle O’Quinn.
Will Jeff Hornacek continue to shake up their lineup tonight against the Celtics? In addition to Kuzminskas, Hornacek started Ron Baker for the first time in his career, replacing Courtney Lee. Will that change continue?
