Great to see a clean injury report for the Celtics ahead of Game 1. Jrue Holiday's hamstring strain is something that could have lingered longer but he's good to go for tomorrow

Boston will be looking to set the tone in this series in Game 1, while also trying to defend home-court. The Celtics come into the matchip with home-court advantage, and they are 3-0 at home so far this postseason.

Even with the success from the regular season, Boston isn't taking things for granted. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla weighed in on the problems that the Knicks present ahead of the series start.

"Great coach, great depth, great team," Mazzulla raved of New York. "You see what they've been able to do over the course of the season and in the playoffs thus far with their two guys, but also the way the others are able to impact the game. It'll be a physical series, it'll come down to the margins."

New York has a star-studded starting five, but the overall depth of the team is a little questionable. It will be up to the Celtics to force others to beat them by playing smart defense at all times.

Game 1 of this series kicks off on Monday at 7 p.m. ET.
