The New York Knicks will travel to play the rival Boston Celtics on Tuesday, October 24. How can you watch and what should you expect to see?

The New York Knicks have begun the 2016-17 NBA regular season as a team of two halves. New York was brilliant in the first half against both the Detroit Pistons and the Oklahoma City Thunder, but ultimately collapsed during the third and fourth quarters.

Come Tuesday, October 24, the Knicks will have an opportunity for redemption when they travel to play the Atlantic Division rival Boston Celtics.

While New York will enter the encounter at 0-2, the Celtics are coming off of a potentially stabilizing victory. Boston opened the 2017-18 regular season with consecutive losses, but utilized an explosive fourth quarter to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers 102-92, thus improving to 1-2.

Coming off of that revitalizing road win, it stands to reason that the Celtics will settle in and play closer to their self-imposed standards.

Fair an expectation as that may be, New York is catching Boston at a vulnerable time. Hayward’s injury shook the organization at its core, and while the young players are performing admirably, the Celtics are now playing unproven talent in a star’s place.

The question is: How can you watch the rivalry game and what will the keys to victory be for the New York Knicks against the Boston Celtics?
