Boston is off a loss to Miami, but has been playing well, winning three of the last seven - each time as a dog, along with a 6-2 ATS run. The Celtics play in a weak Eastern Conference, and even after the loss, they're only 3.5 games out of the eighth playoff seed. The Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games. New York is tied with Philly for the fewest wins in the East (10), and are #28 in the NBA in points scored and #20 in points allowed. Amare Stoudemire is unlikely to play after missing the last three games with a knee injury. Boston has been slumping on offense of late, but faces this bad Knicks' defense that is #22 in field goal shooting defense, plus they're dead last at defending the three-pointer allowing 39%! The Celtics are 21-10 ATS in the last 31 meetings in New York, so grab the Green and play the Celtics.
