Boston at New York

New York made big headlines with its fire sale, so is this an easy win for Boston? Not so fast. Celtics star Kyrie Irving has missed the last two games with a strained left hip. This is a sandwich spot for Boston, facing Oklahoma City this weekend, so Irving may sit again or play limited minutes to rest up for Sunday's bigger game. NBA favorites of 10+ points that average over 102 points per game, coming off a blowout win of 15+ points are 49-82 ATS against teams allowing 102+ points per game. This is still a rivalry game and the home team has covered five of the last seven meetings, including a close 103-101 Boston win on this court earlier this season as a 9.5-point favorite. Play the points on New York.
