New York Knicks Form
New York head into the new season as a leading contender to go all the way following the blockbuster addition of Karl-Anthony Towns in the offseason.
The Knicks warmed up for the campaign by going 4-1 in the preseason, which started with a 111-109 victory in Charlotte.
They returned home after that and downed Washington 117-9 before beating Minnesota 115-110.
New York then made it four-in-a-row as they beat Charlotte 111-105, but they failed to complete a perfect preseason campaign.
The Knicks wrapped things up in Washington last Friday night, and they fell to a 118-117 defeat at the hands of the Wizards.
Boston Celtics Form
Boston come into the new campaign looking to win back-to-back NBA titles following their success last season.
The Celtics eased to a 4-1 series win over Dallas in the finals back in June, and they come into their title defence having put together a 4-1 preseason record.
They began their preparations in Abu Dhabi, where they recorded 107-103 and 130-104 victories over Denver.
Boston then returned home to blow out Philadelphia, 139-89, before downing Toronto, 115-111.
The Celtics then concluded their preseason schedule with a trip to Toronto to take on the Raptors, and they missed out on a 100% record as they were beaten 119-118.
Verdict
Boston were almost unstoppable last season, and they return with an almost identical roster.
So while New York are even stronger wit KAT now on the roster, we expect the Celtics to deliver on opening night.
