The Boston Celtics will be a part of the matchup that kicks off Amazon's first Friday night doubleheader on Prime Video this season.
As part of the opening-week schedule, on Friday, Oct. 24, the 18-time NBA champions will square off against the New York Knicks in a playoff rematch.
The Knicks upset the Celtics in a second-round Eastern Conference Semifinal series last postseason. New York prevailed 4-2, ending its geographical rival's season in six games.
As bitter a defeat as that was for Celtics fans, the far more serious development wasn't the denial of the chance at lifting the Larry O'Brien Trophy in consecutive campaigns.
