Tell Me Why Boston Will/Won't Cover the 9 pts Tonight vs Knicks

[Tanko]

Celtics went 5 vs Orlando and have been sitting since April 29th.
Knicks went 6 vs Detroit and have been sitting since May 1st.

Boston won all 4 meetings so far this year.
Favorites of nine points or higher are 9-0 SU this postseason and 20-2 SU over the past two playoffs.

Jayson Tatum has had some time to heal the wrist injury
Jrue Holliday, who missed the final three games with Orlando due to a hamstring, was back to full practice and is likely playing.

Tell us who is going to cover and why......

The only thing I can see is that Knicks being the underdog will fight hard to win.

Both games are 9pts tonight

If you had to pick one to cover, would it be Boston or OKC?

Knicks 0-12 vs bos, okc, clev this year

-17.4 ppg

Boston plays to their opponents level a lot so if they are playing a great team, they typically step up and if its a bad team, they play to just win. This is the playoffs so I'm thinking they step up but 9 pts is a ton IMO.

Actually taking KAT o19.5 pts

Think it should be 21.5

I don’t know if these away courts have been better than usual. Be careful.

Sucks they will not be getting 2 days off all series, but knock the champ out if you can

I don't think this will impact anyones decision on who will win tonight.... Unless you are a complete degen.

A Lakers fan immediately switched to Knicks. Just like her love life story.

Could three point shooting be the difference? I don't know if Boston will be shooting > 40% from 3. If so, they probably cover.

Decent stat

 

[drunkenhorseplayer]

Other than a 13-11 hiccup in midseason, Boston is looking just as good as last year's squad; Celtics minus the points.
