Result:
WIN

Boston is a good sized favorite, but why? The Celtics have a losing record at home with a bad defense at #28 in points allowed. The Celtics are 3-7-1 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record. New York likes the three-pointer and Boston is second worst in the NBA at defending the three-pointer, allowing 39% shooting. Boston returns home from losses at Washington on Monday and Wednesday in Charlotte. This is a rivalry series  and home court has meant little, as the road team is 15-7 ATS in the last 22 meetings. The Knicks are also 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Boston. Take the points on the Knicks.
