Result:
WIN

Boston had a four-game winning streak snapped in its 117-112 loss to Oklahoma City, but the Celtics were playing a back-to-back after winning at Indiana on Thursday. Isaiah Thomas scored 34 points and had 10 assists while Al Horford added 23 points, but the Celtics couldn't overcome the Thunder's 51.2 percent shooting. The Celtics are 4-0-1 ATS playing with one day of rest. Boston won the first meeting against New York 115-87 on Nov. 11th while shooting only 38.9 percent from the field. Thomas led seven players in double figures with 29 points, and the Knicks were held to a .351 field goal percentage. The Knicks have won two straight after losing three in a row, and Derrick Rose scored 19 points in their 106-95 win over Orlando on Thursday. Kristaps Porzingis is probable for this game with a right knee contusion. Boston is 5-1-1 ATS its last seven road games and 6-2-1 ATS following a loss. Take the Celtics.
