New York already has accomplished what it set out to do and that is to take home-court advantage away from the Celtics in the series. Boston is highly unlikely to come close to missing 45 3-pointers again in a must-win situation, while the Knicks are in a huge letdown spot. New York is 0-6 ATS and 5-1 OVER its past six Wednesday games and it is still just 3-6 ATS the past nine meetings with the Celtics. The OVER is 4-1-1 the past six meetings and Game 1 just missed going OVER even with all those missed shots by Boston, which actually is #11 in the NBA with a .373 3-point shooting percentage. Lay the points with the Celtics, and bet the OVER.
