The NBA schedule has nine games on tap for Friday night and the marquee matchup will feature the Boston Celtics (41-10) traveling to Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks (21-27) at 7:30 p.m. ET. Boston will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night while the Knicks will try to prevent another meteoric night by an opposing player.

Also on schedule for Friday night will be the Portland Trail Blazers (30-18) looking to even their road record when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder (11-38). Portland is currently 12-13 on the road and they have a solid shot at evening that out as the Thunder are just 8-18 at home. Tip-off is set for 8:00 p.m. ET.
