Our New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Celtics top the Knicks on the road, 114-108
The Celtics are peaking at the right time. Defensively, the Celtics have been outstanding over the last three games, holding their opponents (Milwaukee, Toronto, and Charlotte) to fewer than 103 points. The Knicks have also done their assignments on the defensive end, but 2 of their 3 wins came against teams with losing records.
Boston is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games on the road and 7-1 SU in its last 8 games. Jaylen Brown is nursing a minor Achilles injury, but the Celtics can count on another superstar in Jayson Tatum to produce the numbers they need to overcome their Atlantic Division rivals.
Our betting prediction for the Boston Celtics vs. the New York Knicks: The Celtics will win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
