Celtics vs Knicks Tonight!

The Boston Celtics and New York Knicks will play at least their next five games against each other, but the first one will look considerably different than the rest. Both teams may rest starters when they finish the regular season tonight at TD Garden, the same place where they'll open the playoffs this weekend.

Boston (55-26) is locked into the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, while the Knicks (42-39) are assured of finishing sixth, which means the clubs will square off in the postseason for the first time since 1990.

The Celtics seemed content to settle into third place even when they still had a chance to catch Miami. Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo all sat out Monday's 95-94 overtime loss at Washington. That result, along with the Heat's win over Atlanta, clinched the No. 2 seed for Miami. Boston coach Doc Rivers said it was a difficult decision, but that resting his All-Star quartet, something he plans to do again tonight, was more important than seeding.
