With Quentin Grimes and Mitchell Robinson both out tonight, the Knicks are starting Cam Reddish and Isaiah Hartenstein in their place.

Robert Williams said he’s gotten back on the court and is beginning to ramp back up. Said he was given wide windows for each stage, so he wasn’t sure exactly where he was on his path to returning, but said he’s been happy there’s been no setbacks. – 7:17 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Rob Williams traveled with #Celtics to NYC, and is running, rolling and even dunking as he remains on track to return 8-12 weeks after surgery.

The Knicks are starting four lefties tonight. I have no idea if this has happened before. I really don’t think it means anything advantageous or disadvantageous. But it is tremendously weird, so enjoy – 7:08 PM

The Celtics have lost three straight games at Madison Square Garden for the first time in 22 years.
Yet they still have a better record here since 2001, than the Garden of their own. pic.twitter.com/gh8QUqrS3o7:08 PM

Al Horford, expected to play tonight, won’t again. Much like the first B2B in Florida. Seems like he won’t play them this year. – 3:21 PM
Alan Hahn @alanhahn
With Boston’s Al Horford (lower back stiffness) listed as out tonight and the Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson (knee) listed as doubtful, there’s clearly another opportunity to see the Randle-Toppin lineup. In 10 minutes together, they were +14 last night in Philly. #Knicks2:13 PM
Sam Smith @SamSmithHoops
And here they come spinning down the stretch, it’s DeRozan, it’s Tatum, DeRozan, Tatum, it’s DeRozan…it’s Tatum across the finish line.
