My Picks
🏆 Winner / Spread: Boston Celtics -3.5
Confidence: High (75%)
Reasoning:
Boston are on a 5-game winning streak
The Knicks suffered a humiliating 80–118 loss to Detroit yesterday without Towns,
Anunoby, and Hart
Key Knicks players are injured (Towns, Anunoby, Hart — all questionable)
Boston are missing only Tatum, and the team has adapted well
Boston perform better at home vs the Knicks (6–3 ATS in the last 9 home games)
Experts unanimously support Boston on the spread
📊 Total: Under 213.5
Confidence: Medium–High (65%)
Reasoning:
Boston: 8 straight games have gone Under
Boston at home: 7 straight games Under
Knicks: 9 of the last 11 games Under
Both teams rank top-3 in defensive rating over the last 10 games
Possible absence of Towns and Anunoby will reduce the Knicks’ scoring potential
Tony’s Picks recommend Under 213.5 as the best bet of the game
Opposing view:
Fox Sports and Sportsbook Wire recommend Over 214.5, relying on recent
head-to-head statistics and overall team scoring trends.
