by Tommy Dee on October 17th, 2008 at 11:47 am

WHEN: 7:30PM
WHERE: TD Banknorth Garden
WATCH: MSG

Projected Lineups:

Boston

PG: Rajon Rondo
SG: Ray Allen
SF: Paul Pierce
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Kendrick Perkins

Knicks

PG: Chris Duhon
SG: Jamal Crawford
SF: Quentin Richardson
PF: Zach Randolph
C: David Lee

Injuries:

Boston: N/A
Knicks: Danilo Gallinari (bulging disk). Jared Jeffries (fractured tibia) is out 6-8 weeks. Allan Houston will sit (quad).

Keep an eye on: If the Celtics Big 3 actually suit up tonight. They were held out of last night’s game vs. the Nets. I’m figuring Doc Rivers didn’t want to play them back-to-back yet, so they should see action tonight.

Other Blogs take:

Jeff from celticsblog offers this take on Darius Miles, who’s attempting a comeback with the team, but is getting outplayed by Bill Walker. The Celts are looking to replace James Posey, who is in New Orleans.

“…It doesn’t look good for the guy, at least in Boston. I tend to think that he’ll still get a shot somewhere this year. It may take a team willing to wait on his conditioning (and suspension) without having to make a roster cut to add him to the squad, but there are teams out there who could take a chance on him.

There’s still a chance things could work out in Boston, but Doc and Danny only provide luke-warm praise for him and he hasn’t exactly lit up the scoreboard when given the chance…“

Key Matchup: We’ll go Rondo vs. Duhon. Rondo is an orchestrator and all eyes will be on Duhon based on the news that D’Antoni is heavily leaning on starting him opening night.

    What doesn’t help Miles also is that Tony Allen looks great this year. I saw him last night at Izod and he looked good. His jumper is better but most importantly he is trusting the knee again after 3 ACL surgeries.
