The top two teams in the Atlantic Division clash on Thursday as the number one seed Boston Celtics host the third seed New York Knicks. Having already sealed the top seed in the Conference, the Celtics will be looking to finish their regular season in style as they prepare for a Playoff campaign. Many experts (including most bookmakers) have Boston as clear favourites to win the NBA title, and it is hard to disagree with the idea that they have the strongest roster in the league.

The Knicks are also assured of a Playoff spot, but such is the tight nature of the Eastern Conference, they could finish as high as second or as low as eighth in the seedings. That means they have a lot to play for here, as they look to halt a run of four successive defeats against the Celtics.

Our Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks Prediction

Clearly, the Knicks have more on the line here, but equally clearly, the Celtics are the superior team. It is also important to factor in the home advantage of the Knicks, as they have been virtually unbeatable at TD Garden all season. The bookmakers have the Knicks as slight favorites here, largely due to their greater need for the win, but we cannot overlook the sheer brilliance of the Celtics squad, and even if they rest some key players, we still think they have enough to secure the W. Our prediction for Celtics v Knicks is: Celtics to win, 2.12 at BetMGM.

Prediction:
