The Celtics open on the road against Eastern Conference rivals the New York Knicks. Last year, the Celtics finished in second place in the East. They lost in the Eastern Conference finals in seven games to the Miami Heat. The Celtics added Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday in the offseason. Last season, the Celtics ranked fourth in points per game at 117.9 per game. The Knicks finished in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. They lost in Six games to the Miami Heat in the playoffs. They added Donte DiVincenzo and Dylan Windler in the offseason. Last season, the Knicks ranked 11th in points per game at 116. This Celtics team is loaded with Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis. They traded away Kieth Smart but added Jrue Holiday in his place. If this game were later in the season I would expect the Celtics to be a bigger favorite.
