A battle of two of the biggest basketball markets in the NBA begins on Monday between the defending champion Boston Celtics and the revamped New York Knicks.

Boston retained all of its stars from last season’s championship run and appears poised to go on another deep run through the Eastern Conference. New York, on the other hand, would like to end Boston’s supremacy and has the star power to do so with Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges now on its roster.

Jalen Brunson and Jayson Tatum are the superstars in this series, but the performances each team gets out of their role players could be the deciding factor in Game 1.

The Celtics have home-court advantage, but if the Knicks can steal the opener, they will have the upper hand as the series progresses.

This is a great NBA matchup that will not disappoint; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
