Boston Celtics at New York Knicks Preview & Picks
Boston are tipped to finally get off the mark in this conference semi-final series.
The Celtics have outplayed the Knicks through two games, only to then fail to close them out, but this is still a championship-winning group so we retain some faith in them.
- Boston Celtics are 2-0 in New York this season
- Boston Celtics are 6-1-0 ATS in their last 7 wins over New York
- Boston Celtics are 17-3 in their previous 20 road games
- 9 of the last 10 games have produced over 205.0 total points
Head To Head
- Boston Celtics lead the all-time series 308-192
- New York Knicks won 91-90 when the two teams last met on May 7
Boston Celtics Form
Boston head to New York in desperate need of a win, having blown two big leads in back-to-back defeats to the Knicks.
The Celtics entered the series with home court advantage, but find themselves behind the 8-Ball after two big collapses resulted in 108-105 (OT) and 91-90 defeats.
This is first time they have faced serious adversity this season, having gone 61-21 in the regular season before easing past Orlando in the first round of the playoffs.
Boston made home court advantage count as they opened up a 2-0 lead over the Magic with 103-86 and 109-100 victories.
The Celtics then rebounded from a 95-93 loss in Orlando by clinching the series with a 107-98 road success and a 120-89 victory at home.
New York Knicks Form
New York return home in a commanding position in this series, having won back-to-back games in Boston to take a 2-0 lead.
The Knicks found themselves down big in both games, only to respond with huge comebacks to win 108-105 in overtime and 91-90 in regulation.
That means they now have the opportunity to clinch the series without having to return to Boston.
New York sealed their spot in the playoffs by going 51-31 in the regular season, and they downed Detroit 4-2 in the first round, starting with a 123-112 victory at home.
The Knicks then responded to a 100-94 loss with 118-116 and 94-93 road wins, before bouncing back from a 106-103 home defeat with a series-clinching 116-113 win in Detroit.
Verdict
How many times will Boston blow a big lead, and how many times can New York keep coming back from the dead?
This current trend is not sustainable, so for one last time in this series we are giving the Celtics the benefit of the doubt.
