While this is a massive matchup to tip off the new season with the NBA’s return to NBC, it is not the only new network that will broadcasting games next season as Amazon Prime will also show select games next season on their streaming service.

This is massive news, especially for the Knicks, as they will host the first game ever streamed on Amazon Prime next season in an Eastern Conference showdown with the Celtics.

For the Knicks, they are set to enter next season as one of the favorites to win the East due to their core of Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Josh Hart.

New York also upgraded their bench this summer by signing Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele in the free agency and they will also enter next season with a new head coach in Mike Brown after firing Tom Thibodeau to begin their offseason.

While there has been a ton of change in New York, their core has stayed the same and they are looking to build off their impressive season last year that saw them reach the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000.

Of course, they will have a tough test against Jaylen Brown and the Celtics to tip off Amazon Prime’s NBA coverage as the Knicks try to start their season off strong as they chase a championship.
