It doesn’t look good for the defending champs. The Boston Celtics face elimination tonight against the New York Knicks and will need to find a way to extend the series without Jayson Tatum, who tore his Achilles tendon on Monday in the Celtics’ game 4 loss. Awaiting the winner of the Celtics-Knicks series in the Eastern Conference finals are the Indiana Pacers, who knocked out the Cleveland Cavaliers last night.
In tonight’s second game, the Timberwolves can eliminate the Golden State Warriors, who will once again be without Stephen Curry, who’s missed the last three games with a hamstring injury. There’s a chance Curry could return for Sunday’s game 6, but the Warriors must win tonight to keep their season going.
Tonight’s action gets started at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT). You can watch both games on TNT or TruTV or flux on Max. Here’s everything you need to know to watch or stream the NBA playoffs.
Jalen Brunson has propelled the New York Knicks to a 3-1 series lead over the Boston Celtics.
