Predictions for the week ahead: Oct. 8-14
Photo by Brian Fluharty/Getty ImagesNot to get ahead of ourselves, but basketball is nearly back, baby! Two preseason games await our New York Knickerbockers next week. On Monday, the Knicks will host the Boston Celtics (Oct. 9, 7:30pm ET), and then the Minnesota Timberwolves come to town on Saturday (Oct. 14, 7:30pm ET).
Boston had the league’s second-best record last season, but their roster has changed since then. This summer, they parted ways with Marcus Smart, Robert Williams, Malcolm Brogdon, Grant Williams, Danilo Gallinari, and Mike Muscala. The Celts acquired Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue (three time Teammate of the Year) Holiday, and—hey! Svi Mykhailiuk.
