Boston opened as an -8 point home favorite versus New York overnight Saturday.
The Celtics are 29-9 in Eastern Conference games. Boston is third in the Eastern Conference scoring 117.3 points while shooting 46.1% from the field.
The Knicks are 9-2 in division matchups. New York has a 5-1 record in one-possession games.
Jayson Tatum is shooting 45.4% and averaging 26.8 points for the Celtics. His total points prop bet will be available as the game gets underway at Skybook, which has been serving the gambling public since 1997.
Tatum shot 5-of-13 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Thursday’s win over the 76ers, scoring 15 points with 11 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and two three-pointers in 35 minutes.
From NBC Edge:
"Tatum’s had better nights shooting the basketball, but the off-night didn’t prevent him from recording his second triple-double of the season. Over the past month, the Celtics forward has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats, but he’s been a first-round player for the season. Tatum has primarily done what fantasy managers have expected, delivering consistently high fantasy value for one of the league’s best teams."
Other hot players include Derrick White, who is averaging 3.2 made 3-pointers over the last 10 games.
Karl-Anthony Towns is scoring 24.8 points per game and averaging 13.4 rebounds for the Knicks. Jalen Brunson is averaging 2.0 made 3-pointers over the last 10 games.
The Celtics are shooting 46.1% from the field this season, 1.3 percentage points lower than the 47.4% the Knicks allow to opponents. The Knicks average 12.8 made 3-pointers per game this season, 0.2 more makes per game than the Celtics allow.
