The New York Knicks (47-32, 3rd in East) travel to Boston on Thursday to take on the Boston Celtics (62-17, 1st in East) in an Atlantic Division NBA showdown.
The Celtics have already clinched the No. 1 seed and own the best record in the league. On Tuesday night, they lost one of the strangest games of the NBA season to the Milwaukee Bucks, falling 104–91. They went the entire game without attempting a free throw.
The result also saw their six-game winning streak come to an end, but that hardly matters now. Even if the Celtics were to lose every remaining game in the regular season, they would be guaranteed home-court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The Celtics now head back to Boston to wrap up their season with three straight home games beginning on Thursday night against the Knicks, who have secured a place in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament as they work toward another playoff appearance after losing to Miami Heat in the conference semifinals last season.
On Tuesday night, the Knicks won their second straight game in a 128-117 victory over the Chicago Bulls in Chicago.
