New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics: Jalen Brunson Expected to Make Season Debut

Brunson Set to Boost Knicks

The New York Knicks are expected to welcome back point guard Jalen Brunson for their matchup against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. Brunson has been sidelined since October 19 with a foot injury.

Brunson's return is a major boost for the Knicks, who are 8-7 in his absence. The 26-year-old averaged 16.3 points and 4.8 assists per game last season with the Dallas Mavericks.

Brunson's Impact on the Knicks

Brunson is expected to slide into the starting lineup alongside RJ Barrett, Evan Fournier, Julius Randle, and Mitchell Robinson. He will provide the Knicks with a much-needed playmaker and scorer.

Brunson's ability to create his own shot and make plays for others will be crucial for the Knicks, who have struggled to generate offense at times this season.

Celtics Face Tough Test

The Celtics will be facing a tough test against the Knicks, even with Brunson's return. The Celtics are 12-3 this season and have the best record in the Eastern Conference.

Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart will be the leaders for the Celtics, who will need to step up on both ends of the floor to beat the Knicks.

Game Details

The New York Knicks will host the Boston Celtics at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, November 30 at 7:30 PM ET. The game will be televised on ESPN.
