How to Watch Knicks vs. Celtics Tuesday

When: Tuesday, December 2, 2025
Time: 8:00 PM ET
Where: TD Garden, Boston, Massachusetts
Watch: NBC/Peacock / NBA League Pass

New York Knicks Preview

New York extended its momentum with a 116-94 win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, securing its fourth straight victory. Josh Hart led the way with a powerful all-around performance, finishing with 20 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 22 points and eight rebounds to anchor the interior.

Jalen Brunson contributed 18 points, seven assists, and six rebounds, and Mikal Bridges and Miles McBride each scored 14 points, showcasing the Knicks’ depth across all five positions.

The Knicks’ win pushed them to 10-1 at home and 13-6 overall, marking one of the best starts in the conference. Their perfect record since Josh Hart joined the starting lineup last week has coincided with more balanced ball movement, increased defensive pressure, and improved transition scoring. New York’s versatility on both ends has become increasingly evident as they’ve continued to deliver efficient outings regardless of matchup or pace.

Boston Celtics Preview

The Celtics, meanwhile, are coming off a dramatic 117-115 road win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, a game in which they nearly surrendered a large lead before closing it out in the final seconds.

Payton Pritchard erupted for a season-high 42 points, delivering one of the most explosive performances of the young season. Jaylen Brown recorded his fourth career triple-double with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists, his first triple-double since January 21, 2024, at Houston. That effort came just one night after he scored 41 points in a loss at Minnesota, showing his ability to carry Boston’s offense through multiple game scripts.

Boston also received a massive boost from Jordan Walsh, who posted career-highs of 14 points and 11 rebounds, deepening the team’s frontcourt productivity.

The Celtics continue to rely heavily on Brown’s ability to both initiate and finish plays, especially with Pritchard’s hot shooting providing spacing and rhythm for the rest of the lineup. Despite nearly letting the Cavaliers erase their advantage, Boston’s execution in the final minutes secured its position atop the conference standings.

What to Bet on Tuesday

I like some player props on Jalen Brunson and Jaylen Brown. Brunson’s command of pace and poise in the half-court remains central to the Knicks’ identity. He can score efficiently and facilitate for scorers like Towns and Hart and rebound in traffic against larger defenders.

Brunson’s footwork and strength allow him to dictate matchups, particularly in isolation and pick-and-roll situations, where he identifies defensive coverages quickly and counters with midrange pull-ups, floater-game touch, or pinpoint kick-outs. His stability becomes even more valuable with New York’s improved spacing since Hart joined the starting lineup, creating cleaner lanes for Brunson to operate.

Brown continues to be one of the league’s most dynamic two-way wings, using a blend of strength, acceleration, and improved playmaking to fuel Boston’s attack. Brown’s physicality in the paint and comfort initiating offense have made him indispensable, especially with Boston leaning heavily on his ball-handling in late-game situations.

Knicks vs Celtics Player Prop Bets – Expert Picks

Tuesday’s meeting should be defined by Brunson’s methodical creation and Brown’s downhill power. Expect Brunson to probe Boston’s defensive core with midrange precision and kick-outs to New York’s deep lineup, while Brown uses his size advantage to pressure the Knicks’ wings and create scoring opportunities in transition and half-court sets.

With both teams entering in rhythm, this matchup projects to be tight throughout.

Pick: Jalen Brunson to score 25+ points

Pick: Jaylen Brown higher than 33.5 points + rebounds

Pick: Boston Celtics +2

Pick: Game Total > 229.5
