The Knicks enter this NBA season with championship aspirations. That's all and good. But the Celtics are the defending world champions.

Boston has superstars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The Celtics have tremendous chemistry and hold a huge bench edge against the Knicks.

The Knicks' depth, short to begin with anyways, lost maybe their best reserve, Precious Achiuwa. He suffered a hamstring injury on Sunday and will be out at least a couple of weeks.

The Celtics went 37-4 at home last season. I find this number to be short.
