The Celtics have a seven-game winning streak coming into the All-Star Break, which puts Brad Stevens in an excellent position to take his time in the buyout market while taking a look at this week’s new trade signings, Xavier Tillman and Jaden Springer. Now let’s leap.

Inform your pals! The New York Knicks (34-22) will play the Boston Celtics on national television this Saturday night. With a 44-12 record, Boston leads the league and has won nine of the previous ten games. They have also destroyed their last seven opponents. Even without their starters—Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, Mitchell Robinson, and occasionally Isaiah Hartenstein—the still-weak Knicks have tied the score after ten games. However, Jalen Brunson and the Remainders will continue to take down opponents.

The Knicks most recently defeated the 76ers on Thursday in Philadelphia. In the meantime, the Bulls were dehorned by the Celts in Chicago, 129–111, starting with Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Kristaps Porziņčis.

Against, the New York Knicks are 0-3 Similar to the Knicks, the Beantown Bunch is 22-1 this season against teams below.500 and can easily defeat inferior opponents. Without a doubt, Boston is a major player. They boast the third-best defence and the top offence in the league. They outscore everyone in three-point shooting and rebounding. They have a 38% three-point shooting percentage, and every Celtic starter gets after a loose ball quickly. In the 2023–24 season, Brown (a two-time All-Star) has averaged 22 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, while Tatum (a four-time All-Star) has averaged 27.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. In his debut season with Boston, Kristaps Porzingis has averaged 20.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists. This trio is powerful.
