Betting on the New York Knicks
- Regular Season Record: 38-27.
The Knicks are a truly amazing team. In fact, when the team is playing away from home, the offensive contribution from Julius Randle (25.1 pts. per game) is overwhelming for their opponents, but the strength of the team is also collective.
This is evidenced by the superb performance of their sixth man, Immanuel Quickley. The young point guard barely saw action at the beginning of the season and now, with almost 28 minutes per game, he contributes with 12.9 points off the bench.
Tom Thibodeau’s team has won eight games in a row so far, and they get even stronger at Madison Square Garden. Still, the Knicks have a surprising statistic. With 19 wins in 31 games played, they are the second franchise in the East with the best record on the road. Moreover, the New York team
has won its last four out of five away games. The last win this team achieved was a 115-109 victory over the Washington Wizards at a packed Capital One Arena. Will the same fate be in store for this Knicks vs Celtics game?
Betting on the Boston Celtics
- Regular Season Record: 45-19.
The Celtics have a 10-4 record in their last 14 games played. They are also one of the teams that the best record playing in front of its home crowd. At the TD Garden, they have a 24-7 record, a figure that places them behind the Milwaukee Bucks. Considering the fact that they will be up against a formidable opponent, these statistics will further increase the attractiveness of the odds for a home victory.
Joe Mazzulla’s team is scary when it comes to offensive statistics. With an average of 117.7 points per game, it ranks as the fourth-best offense in the NBA, behind the Sacramento Kings, the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In large part, those numbers are due to the outstanding performances of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who boast 30.3 and 26.3 points so far in this exciting regular season.
JefeBet Prediction
Two Eastern heavyweights will go head-to-head at TD Garden. Both teams have a string of good results and more than one top-level player.
In any case, Tatum is coming off a forgettable performance against New York with an ejection, so he will quickly seek to vindicate himself in front of his fans. That is why for this Knicks vs Celtics game,JefeBet predicts a Boston win.
Prediction: Boston Celtics Moneyline.
