NYK vs BOS Dream11 NBA

Knicks vs Celtics NBA Live: New York Knicks will enter the contest after beating the Hornets behind a 33 points triple-double by Julius Randle. On the other hand, the Boston Celtics will come into the game after beating the Timberwolves rallying around a 26 points outing by Jayson Tatum. More information about NYK vs BOS Dream11 will be given here.

Knicks’ season: Not many people would have expected the young team of New York Knicks to perform this well. Tom Thibodeau has made the Knicks number 1 defensive team in the league in terms of Points Allowed Per Game, with the oppositions restricted to 105 PPG. The Knicks are led for the most part by their bruising PF Julius Randle, have a host of guards, with the stellar Rose coming off the bench, and will be difficult to lock horns within the NBA Playoffs. They are at the 4th spot of the Eastern Conference standings.

Celtics’ season: Boston has been an inconsistent team this season and it is surprising since they have players in Walker, Brown, and Tatum who can erupt for big scoring nights. They have improved this month but still are lingering at the 7th spot in the NBA Standings for Eastern Conference which means they’d have to undergo the NBA Play-in tournament if things fall in this direction. The last year’s Conference Finalists have a tough road ahead. The Celtics are 24th in the league in terms of Assists Per Game and surely will like to move the ball more.
