Wilson Chandler scored 22 points in his first start of the preseason, and New York got strong play from its reserve guards in a 114-106 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Monday night. Looking increasingly comfortable running Mike D’Antoni’s system, the Knicks made 12 three-pointers and shot 50 percent in their second straight exhibition victory.

They will look to improve to 4-2 tonight against The Boston Celtics, who are 5-2 in preseason play. The Celtics (+300 favorites to win the NBA title) will have revenge on their minds after the Knicks beat them 104-97 last Friday in Boston. Paul Pierce scored 15 points for the Celtics and Tony Allen had 11 in the loss.

David Lee is expected to play tonight against Boston as D’Antoni didn’t want to use him on back-to-back nights.
