The NBA is BACK. That’s right, it’s opening night in the league, with two games airing on TNT. The first pits two Eastern Conference contenders against each other — the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics. Should be a fun one between the new-look team and the defending champs.

The New York Knicks open up a highly anticipated new season against the defending champion Boston Celtics. View our prediction and best bet for the marquee matchup.

Nevertheless, the Celtics will likely focus on their own game and how they want to approach it to end the night with a favorable result. Under Joe Mazzulla, Boston has rarely strayed from its offensive and defensive system, regardless of the opponent or the strength of its rotation.
