Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks Livestream, NBA 24-25:The Boston Celtics and New York Knicks tip off Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Monday evening at TD Garden. Boston enters with a commanding record against New York, sweeping the regular season series 4-0, including an overtime thriller just weeks ago. Their league-leading defense (93.6 points allowed per game) will be tested by Jalen Brunson and the Knicks’ 108.0 PPG offense.

Jayson Tatum continues to lead Boston with 31.3 PPG, complemented by Kristaps Porzingis’ inside presence and efficiency. The Celtics also maintain a slight shooting edge (46.9% FG) over the Knicks (45.0%). Meanwhile, New York’s rebounding strength, especially Karl-Anthony Towns’ 10.0 RPG, could be key to limiting second-chance opportunities. With Boston controlling tempo and thriving defensively, the Knicks must find answers early or risk falling behind in the series.
