The New York Knicks are on the road on Monday night as they begin their second-round series against the Boston Celtics.
New York is coming off a series against the Detroit Pistons in the first round that saw them clinch after six games thanks to a game-winning three-pointer by Jalen Brunson in Game 6.
Of course, the Knicks and Pistons series was a tight one throughout and now New York will face off against a Celtics team that dominated their way past the Orlando Magic in the first round in five games.

New York enters Monday’s game looking to start the series off with an upset victory and also pick up their first win against the Celtics this season after Boston swept them in the regular season.
The good news for the Knicks is that they will enter Game 1 with a fully healthy roster as they have nobody listed on their injury report.
This is massive news for New York, especially after Brunson aggravated his right ankle injury multiple times during their first-round series against Detroit, but he will be a full go on Monday night.

On the other side, the Celtics will also enter Monday’s game with a clean injury report despite two of their key players still dealing with lingering injuries.
Those two players are Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday, both of whom are now off the injury report and are available for Monday’s contest.
For Brown, he was able to start all five games against the Magic in the first round despite dealing with a knee injury and he will enter the second round off Boston’s injury report.
Holiday is also off the Celtics’ injury report as he will make his return on Monday after missing the final three games of the first round due to a hamstring injury.
Fans can catch Monday’s Game 1 matchup between the Knicks and Celtics at 7:00 p.m. EST on TNT.
