Let's take a look at the match statistics and predictions to see if Boston will be able to even the series up or if New York will put Boston on the brink of elimination.
Boston enters this game with new life, having won Game 3 by a score of 115-93. The biggest improvement for the Celtics was their three-point shooting, having shot a combined 25 of 100 in the first two games before shooting 20 of 40 from three-point range in Game 3. Further, the Celtics had five players score in double figures and were led by Payton Pritchard, who scored a team-high 23 points off the bench.

Our New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Celtics are once again a decent-sized favorite, so instead of backing either side to cover, we will be looking to target a player prop. For specifically, Payton Pritchard from the Boston Celtics.
As bad as the three-point shooting has been for the Celtics throughout this series, Pritchard has been a bright spot. In the three games in this series, Pritchard has shot 10 of 24 (41.7%) from three-point range. Further, throughout the playoffs as a whole, Pritchard has shot 19 of 42 (45.2%) from three-point range and has made at least 3 three-pointers in 4 of the Celtics' 8 playoff games.
Pritchard was especially efficient from three-point range in Game 3, making 5 of his 10 threes; therefore, our New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics prediction is Payton Pritchard Over 2.5 Made Threes.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
