Result:
LOSS

Boston has won and covered six of the last eight meetings and both teams look to bounce back from Friday losses.  The Celtics couldn't contain Kawhi Leonard, who scored 31 points with 10 rebounds, and the Raptors won 113-101 as Boston shot only 40.4 percent. New York lost 107-105 when Caris LeVert made a layup with a second left in the game for Brooklyn. Dating to last season, the Celtics are 12-3 ATS when following a loss and 8-2 ATS after allowing at least 100 points their previous game. Also, the Celtics respond well after losing by double-digits with a 19-7-1 ATS in that situation. The Knicks are just 7-15 ATS their last 22 home games and they shot only a .402 percentage last night while allowing the Nets a .493 field goal percentage. Enes Kanter lead the Knicks with 29 points and 10 rebounds and Tim Hardaway Jr. also scored 29 points for New York. Boston is the far superior team in this matchup, so lay the points with the Celtics.
