New York is on a 10-5 SU, 10-4-1 ATS run. The defense is second in the NBA in points given up with the team 28-16 ATS as a favorite. The Knicks are also on a 51-34 spread run on the road, including 21-9 as a road favorite. The Celtics have clinched the NBA's best regular-season record and the No. 1 overall playoff seed. Boston comes off a 104-91 loss to Milwaukee with injuries while resting several key players. Jaylen Brown (hand), Jayson Tatum (knee), Al Horford, and Jrue Holiday are all questionable to play tonight. They're also limiting the minutes of Kristaps Porzingis, who has a hamstring injury and didn't play against the Bucks. With Boston 17-33 ATS at home after being outrebounded by 10+ boards in two consecutive contests, back the visitors. Play New York.
