Celtics vs. Knicks live updates: How to watch, predictions, odds for regular-season opener

play

A new NBA season is here, but not before the Boston Celtics reflect on the old one.

The Celtics will raise their NBA championship banner from the 2023-24 season, and get their rings before opening the 2024-25 regular season against fellow Eastern Conference contenders, the New York Knicks.

The Celtics ran through the postseason with a 16-3 record after winning an NBA-best 64 games last season. Jayson Tatum and NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown return for the defending champions, along with Derrick White and Jrue Holiday. Kristaps Porzingis will not play as he continue to rehab from offseason surgery.

The Knicks, meanwhile, are hoping adding Karl-Anthony Towns to pair up alongside star point guard Jalen Brunson will help them get further than the Eastern Conference semifinals this season. New York acquired Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round pick on Sept. 27.
