Boston Celtics will look to bounce back to winning ways when they host New York Knicks on Friday night at TD Garden. After enjoying a nice preseason run where they won all four matches, the C’s were shot down by the Pistons 121-113 on Monday night. But despite the defeat, their new offseason signing, Paul George, was on a tear, tallying 38 points and 5 steals. That’s the fifth-most points scored by a player on their NBA debut. The Celtics will want to win their home opener as the -145 favorites on Friday.
Like the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks also started their season slowly after losing 100-106 to the star-studded 76ers on Wednesday. Jalen Brunson scored 21 points for the defending champions, whereas Karl-Anthony Towns scored 19 points and 12 rebounds. However, that wasn’t enough to prevent them from losing on a night they were celebrating an end to their 53-year title drought. This was another reminder for the Knicks that it’s time to turn the page.

Our Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Knicks will come into this contest as the +110 betting underdogs. They’ve defeated the Celtics in three of their last four meetings while posting the same record against the spread. However, TD Garden has been a tough hunting ground for them lately, as they are 1-3 in their last four visits. The Knicks struggled to find their rhythm at home against the 76ers, continuing their poor preseason form, in which they lost all four of their assignments. Let’s also note that the Knicks have won against the spread only once in their last 10 matches. That’s why we think Boston will win and cover the -2.5 spread at home.
Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks: Boston Celtics to win.
