Boston star Jayson Tatum will try to set aside the emotions of his Madison Square Garden return on Thursday and help the Celtics lock up the NBA Eastern Conference second seed with a win over the New York Knicks.

Tatum will be making his first appearance at the fabled Manhattan arena since he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon there in game four of last season's Eastern Conference semi-finals.
