LOSS

A tough situational spot for the home team, playing last night, and home from a two-game trip. The Celtics picked up a 99-93 victory at Detroit last night. This is a rivalry game against a New York Knicks squad that is playing decent defense at #11 in the NBA in points allowed and #8 in field goal shooting defense. The Knicks also played last night, but because they were blown out at Atlanta, they got to rest their key players with only Carmelo Anthony (30 minutes) and Arron Afflalo (32) topping 26 minutes. Anthony returned from a one-game layoff due to a sprained ankle to score 18 points and grab 12 rebounds Saturday. Anthony is averaging 25.2 points in 28 career games against Boston. Meanwhile, Boston had four players top 28 minutes last night and three who topped 31. The Knicks are on an 8-5 spread run, plus they are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Boston. Play New York.
