Free Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction:
There’s little reason to believe that the Knicks can come away with a win in this one, but there’s legitimate hope of keeping things close.
The catch is that it’s going to come down to who plays. New York, in full tank mode, has opted to rest starters during the recent stretch.
If the Knicks are at full strength, their offense could take advantage of a Celtics defense that has been inconsistent (and somewhat of a disappointment) throughout the 2016-17 campaign.
If key pieces of the rotation are out, Boston should have no trouble running away with this one.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Check back soon for a free pick ATS.
With Boston desperate to keep its No. 1 seed and the Knicks desperate to improve draft positioning, it’s safe to go with the Celtics straight up.
But with the line not having been set at this time (and it being unclear or undetermined if New York will sit certain pieces), we can’t make a call against the spread just yet.
