The Boston Celtics (0-1) take on the New York Knicks (1-0) tonight in their preseason home debut. Tune into Comcast SportsNet at 7:30 for full coverage.
Keep it in Mind: The Knicks won their preseason opener on Sunday: a 115-107 decision over the New Jersey Nets. Based on that score it looks as if Mike D'Antoni's run and gun system is in full effect.
Who's Hot: For the Celtics, Mike Sweetney scored 10 points in just nine minutes against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Who's Not: J.R. Giddens scored a mere point in 14 minutes of action against the Rockets.
Key Matchup: Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Duhon
Skinny: All eyes will once again be on Kevin Garnett as he continues his rehabilitation from right knee surgery. Doc Rivers acknowledged after Wednesday's loss that the team hasn't implemented any plays for Paul Pierce yet, so don't expect a huge night offensively from him. Expect Doc to employ system regarding minutes similar to Wednesday's. Garnett, Pierce and Allen most likely won't play over 18 minutes apiece.
