Through 0 Quarter
Although the New York Knicks were the underdogs at tipoff, they've since taken control of the game. Either squad is in a position to win, but they lead against the Boston Celtics 3 to nothing.
The Knicks have been relying on the performance of point guard Immanuel Quickley, who has three points. Boston hasn't had any offensive standouts so far with all players held to zero points or fewer.
this is the first time they have ever been down going into the first quarter

What to Know
The New York Knicks' road trip will continue as they head to TD Garden at 7:30 p.m. ET Sunday to face off against the Boston Celtics. New York will be strutting in after a win while Boston will be stumbling in from a loss.
The Knicks skirted by the Miami Heat 122-120 this past Friday thanks to a clutch jumper from power forward Julius Randle with 0:01 remaining. Randle continued his habit of dropping crazy stat lines, shooting 8-for-13 from downtown and finishing with 43 points and nine rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Celtics came up short against the Brooklyn Nets this past Friday, falling 115-105. Boston was up 37-15 at the end of the first quarter but somehow couldn't manage to seal the deal. Boston's defeat came about despite a quality game from small forward Jaylen Brown, who had 35 points in addition to five boards.
New York is expected to lose this next one by 5.5. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on an eight-game streak of ATS wins.
New York had enough points to win and then some against the Celtics in the teams' previous meeting last month, taking their contest 109-94. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Knicks since the squad won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
