Ben Stiller Backs Knicks with Bold Prediction Before Game 4

NEW YORK, NY — Actor Ben Stiller remains optimistic about the New York Knicks as they prepare for Game 4 against the Boston Celtics on May 11, 2025. Despite the Knicks’ recent loss in Game 3, Stiller predicts the team will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, confidently stating his belief on social media.

Stiller, a lifelong Knicks fan, took to Twitter to express his unwavering support, saying, ‘My feeling, after some thought, is clearly: KNICKS IN 5.’ The Knicks lead the series 2-1 but must rebound after a tough defeat where the Celtics triumphed 115-93.

The 59-year-old actor’s love for the team runs deep, as he grew up cheering for the Knicks alongside his father, the late Jerry Stiller. Known for his presence at Madison Square Garden, Stiller often watches games from the courtside, frequently accompanied by fellow celebrities like Spike Lee and Tracy Morgan.

Despite the Knicks holding a series lead, they face a challenging Game 4. The Celtics surged back in Game 3, shooting 50 percent from three-point range after struggling in the first two games. Key players like Junior Holiday and Derrick White found their rhythm, with White contributing to the win by shooting effectively from beyond the arc.

For the Knicks to maintain their series advantage, they must reassert their strong defense that limited the Celtics to under 40 percent shooting in the initial games. Game 4 presents an opportunity for New York to take a commanding 3-1 lead before heading back to Boston for Game 5.
