The current betting odds have the Celtics listed as an 8.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Celtics have looked great this season with their 7-2 record overall and they are starting to look great again in their games lately as they have won 2 in a row. The Knicks have also been good this season with their 5-4 record overall and they have won 3 games in a row now too, but they have also been beating up on a lot of bad teams in those games. They did keep this game close when they played the Celtics at the beginning of the season as they only lost by 4 points, but that game was at home and now they are on a back-to-back here while also on the road where the Celtics have been blowing out many teams this year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Celtics to cover the spread in this game.

“We had a number of guys who made very unselfish plays and then we got going defensively a little bit. And that got us some easy scoring opportunities, and we need those.” - Tom Thibodeau after his team’s win against the Hornets in their game on Sunday.

“I feel like we're really far from being a finished product, a team that this is it. We're far from that still. ... There's going to be ups and downs. There's going to be like three games where it's going to look insane and three games where it's going to fall apart and the fans are going to overreact.” - Kristaps Porzingis after their win against the Raptors in their game on Saturday.
