How often do the Celtics and Knicks play each other?
The Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks meet four times every regular season, twice at each arena. The NBA's 82-game schedule is fixed by relationship rather than drawn each year: sixteen games against the four clubs in your own division, which is why the Atlantic pairings are the ones that come round most.
Are the Celtics and Knicks in the same division?
Yes. The Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks both play in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. A division is five clubs, so Celtics vs Knicks is one of the ten pairings that division is made of, and it is the pairing type the NBA schedules most often.
What is at stake when the Celtics play the Knicks?
Seeding, and the Atlantic Division itself. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker the NBA applies between two clubs that finish level, so if the Celtics and the Knicks end the season on the same record these four games settle it between them. Division record is the tiebreaker after that, and both clubs’ division records are built partly out of this same fixture. A division title is worth the tiebreaker rather than a guaranteed seed — the league dropped the guarantee in 2015 — so the standing these games move is the conference one.
Can the Celtics and Knicks meet in the playoffs?
Yes. Both clubs are in the Eastern Conference, so a Celtics vs Knicks playoff series is possible anywhere from the first round through the Eastern Conference Finals, on top of the regular-season meetings — and they can meet in the play-in tournament before that if both finish seventh to tenth.
Where can I follow the Celtics and Knicks for the rest of the season?
