: New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics Preview
On the season the Knicks are 21-32-2 ATS and they have an O/U record of 23-31-1 and the Celtics are 30-24 ATS and they have an O/U record of 29-24-1.
This season the Celtics are 12-15 at home and the Knicks are 3-23 on the road.
In their last games the Celtics beat the Phoenix Suns 115-110 and the Knicks lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers 101-83.
After winning 10 straight at home facing the Knicks the Celtics have dropped 4 of their last 5 facing them in their house. One of only 3 road wins for New York this season has come in Boston. However, tonight the Celtics are the HUGE home betting favorite facing a Knicks’ squad that shelved Caremelo Anthony for the season and has lost 7 straight.
Even with Melo and the departed Amare Stoudamire the Knicks had issues on offense, but now they are really struggling to score. They only rank 29th in the league in points per game and in their 7-game losing streak they are only averaging 89.3 ppg on 40.7% shooting.
I mean how bad is it for New York? Well, their top scorer in the last 2 games has been Langston Galloway and he has spent most of the season in the D-League.
The Celtics are 5-5 in their last 10 games and they are only 2 games back of the Brooklyn Nets for the last playoff spot in the East.
Jared Sullinger had been the Celtics’ leading scorer and rebounder, but he is now out for the season with an injury. However, the Celtics pulled off a great trade getting Isaiah Thomas, who has scored 21 points in each if his first 2 games with Boston. He and fellow G Avery Bradley are the key players that the Knicks have to stop, but their D only ranks 20th in the league and in their last 5 games they are giving up an average of 103.2 ppg.
Galloway and Tim Hardaway Jr. are the only 2 players averaging in double figures for the Knicks, so they will need them and some other players to step in the scoring department.

New York is reeling and they just do not have the talent to keep up with the Celtics tonight and even giving 12.5 points Boston will cover.
