Jalen Brunson and the Knicks are about to have themselves a moment, starting on Tuesday night at the Garden, what will feel like the biggest game of the regular season, against the Celtics.

The real season for the Knicks, one that’s seen the Cavs blow past them at a time when the Knicks were supposed to be setting themselves up to knock off the Celtics, begins in less than three weeks when the playoffs begin.

Provided the Knick can get that far.
