Our New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics Prediction
It is well-known that the Celtics had the Knicks’ number in the regular season, sweeping them four games to none. However, the playoffs are likely to be another story. New York arguably has the best player on the court in Jalen Brunson, who took over in the Knicks’ first-round series against the Pistons.
Of course, the Celtics have a host of players who could take over a game at any given time. Despite this, the Knicks are playing at an extremely high level right now; therefore, our Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks prediction is New York Knicks +8.5.Jackpot Pools
