Two of the NBA's most storied franchises will battle each other Saturday as a possible Eastern Conference playoff preview.
The surging No. 1 Boston Celtics are coming off a seven-game winning streak, while the New York Knicks sit at No. 4 in the East after stopping a four-game skid.

Here's a look into some of the historical numbers between the two teams heading into Saturday.
