Concerns loom large for the Boston Celtics as they brace for an uncertain playoff future, especially with injuries to key players. Marcus Smart's hamstring issue, along with Kristaps Porzingis' mysterious illness and Jaylen Brown's struggles, raises questions about their playoff viability. Despite these setbacks, the Celtics managed to get good looks, only to miss a record number of three-pointers in their latest game, leaving them with an uphill battle ahead.

The New York Knicks seized the opportunity, demonstrating strong defensive tactics that forced the Celtics into difficult shots late in the game. Jalen Brunson's clutch performance and OG Anunoby's all-around excellence proved pivotal, with Anunoby outperforming both Tatum and Brown. As the Knicks capitalize on their home games, Boston's recent playoff performances bring about significant concerns for fans and fantasy players alike.
