Boston at New York

The Boston Celtics avoided elimination in Game Four at home, with a 97-90 overtime win. Boston saw a 20-point lead evaporate in the third quarter, as the Knicks closed to three heading to the fourth. They won't have the fans behind them here. They also will likely not see Carmelo Anthony shoot 10-35 as he did in Game Four. When you're at home, and the opposing team's star is having one of his worst shooting night's of the season, and your up 20 points, the game should never be contested. That just speaks of the true distance between the talent of the Knicks, and the talent of Boston. Melo was also 0-7 from deep in that game, and despite shooting 34% for the game, the Knicks were in it to win it. Boston has had no  offense all series, and just an average game at home for the Knicks should get them a comfortable win and cover. The Knicks are 47-22 ATS at home in their last 69, and I expect a big effort and win here. Play on New York.
