New York at Boston

Boston faces an elimination game without Jayson Tatum, who is out for the season. However, the rest of the team usually steps it up in the first game following a key injury and the Celtics will be focused from the start as they no longer have room for error. New York could be on the complacent side after coming back from a 14-point deficit in Game 4 and knowing it still has a home game remaining if necessary. Boston is 7-0 OVER its past seven games as a favorite of 0.5-4.5 points. Monday's game sailed OVER by 25 points and the Celtics have gone OVER five of seven Wednesday games. Boston obviously still has plenty of offensive weapons. Take the Celtics and the OVER.
