Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks live stream: how to watch the NBA online

By

The second half of the NBA season is underway. The rivalry between Boston and New York heats up on Saturday night when the Celtics take on the Knicks inside Madison Square Garden. The Celtics and Knicks are two of the four best teams in the Eastern Conference, meaning this game could be a potential playoff preview.

The Celtics are the best team in the East by a wide margin, seven games to be exact. With a record of 44-12, the Celtics can run the table, reach 60 wins, and secure the No. 1 seed in the postseason. The Knicks, who are fourth with a 34-22 record, are trying to string together a few wins while waiting for three of their best players – Mitchell Robinson, OG Anunoby, and Julius Randle – to return from injury sometime next month.

Chicago Bulls vs. New York Knicks live stream: how to watch the NBA online
Jalen Brunson dribbles the ball for the New York Knicks.

The Bulls have locked up the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference, meaning they will host their Play-In Tournament game against the No. 10 Atlanta Hawks. For Chicago to advance to the postseason, they must beat the Hawks and defeat the loser of No. 7 versus No. 8 matchup. For the Knicks, the team has clinched a top-six playoff spot. The Knicks can reach No. 2 if the Milwaukee Bucks lose two games. However, the likely outcome is that the Knicks finish as the No. 3 seed.

Toronto Raptors vs. Miami Heat live stream: how to watch the NBA online
Jimmy Butler jogs up the court and smirks.

On the final day of the regular season, Immanuel Quickley and the Toronto Raptors head to South Beach to take on Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat. The game starts at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Sunday, April 14. The game will be played inside the Kaseya Center in Miami.

The Raptors will not be playing in the postseason. Instead, Toronto will spend this offseason figuring out how to build around Scottie Barnes, R.J. Barrett, and Quickley. The Heat, on the other hand, have qualified for the postseason. Their postseason will likely begin in the Play-In Tournament. Last season, Miami went to the NBA Finals as the No. 8 seed, so the Heat know what it takes to win these big games.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
