The New York Knicks are set to welcome the defending champions, Boston Celtics for Game 6 of their conference semifinals series on Friday, May 16 at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks will head into the game with a 3-2 lead. They had the opportunity to clinch the series during their previous encounter. However, the Celtics, who were trailing the series 1-3, defeated the Knicks in a blowout fashion and recorded a 127-102 win to make a series comeback. <\/p>
Things are still in control of New York. And with them having home court advantage in the forthcoming game, the Knicks would want to wrap the series up and make their way to the Conference Finals. However, the kind of gameplay that the Celtics displayed in their previous fixture, despite being without star player Jayson Tatum, it would be wrong to consider them out. <\/p>
It is going to be one of the most thrilling encounters between both the teams so far. While the Knicks would want to clinch a series win, the main aim of the Celtics would be to force a decisive Game 7. However, as Madison Square Garden decks up for the big game, let’s see which players have made it to the injury reports on both sides. <\/p>
