Boston at New York

The New York Knicks could be up 2-0 in their series with Boston. They had both games hanging in the balance late, but couldn't get it done. Things should be different heading to the Garden, as they now can feed off the energy of the home crowd. The Knicks struggled for long stretches to score in the first two, but they are a much more efficient team offensively at home. The Knicks averaged 115.4 points per game in their last five home games, while failing to even reach that average on the road in their last nine. Boston's stars are aging and back-to-back strong efforts are eluding them now, and the C's stand at 9-26-1 ATS after a win. The Knicks aren’t disappointing fans at home with a 7-1 ATS mark in their last eight as a favorite of 4.5 or less in the Garden. Boston has played 5-1 to the OVER in their last six as a dog up to 4.5, while the Knicks are riding in at 6-1 to the OVER in their last seven at the Garden. New York gets the win and the total goes OVER.
