The Celtics stormed their way to a 4-1 series win against the Orlando Magic, while the Knicks had to fight in a 4-2 series win against the Detroit Pistons. Will the battle-hardened Knicks give a jolt to the resolute defending champs? Read through the preview, total predictions, and player props here.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Watch Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks<\/strong><\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Time<\/strong>: 6:00 PM (ET)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Venue<\/strong>: TD Garden (Boston, Massachusetts)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Where to watch<\/strong>: This game can be viewed on the NBA League Pass. It will be broadcast on TNT too.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks Series Lookahead&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Will the Knicks stand any chance?<\/strong><\/p><p>The Celtics made light work of the Orlando Magic in the first round. The best part about the series was that their ace, Jayson Tatum, was in domination mode. He scored 30+ in three games straight, and was all over the rebounds too. His stellar play and the Celtics&rsquo; free-flow style enable them to remain fresh.<\/p><p>In contrast, the New York Knicks play a gritty style. They will have more weary legs, too, after a tough six-game series, which almost feels like a seven-game affair. The Knicks had to battle for each inch and barely made it to the second round.<\/p><p>Thus, Boston has a mental edge. Apart from that, their core group has already won a championship and has been performing at the same level. The Magic did keep them quiet from long range. They made 11.8 triples per game(10 out of 16), compared to the league-high 17.8 TPG during the Regular Season.<\/p><p>However, the Celtics&rsquo; defense showed up and shut down the Magic to 93.6 PPG. The Knicks&rsquo; offense is much better than Orlando&rsquo;s, and they will likely breach the 100 PPG mark for the series.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Overall, New York will face many more challenges on the defensive end, and there is a doubt that they will be able to shoot 45% from the field like in the first round. The Celts are the clear-cut favorites, but make no mistake about the high-quality PG to C depth of the Knicks.<\/p><p><strong>Knicks Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG:<\/strong> Jalen Brunson | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Josh Hart |<strong> SF: <\/strong>OG Anunoby | <strong>SF: <\/strong>Mikal Bridges | <strong>C: <\/strong>Karl-Anthony Towns<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players<\/strong>: <strong>SG<\/strong>: Miles McBride, <strong>C<\/strong>: Mitchell Robinson, <strong>PG<\/strong>: Cameron Payne.<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates:<\/strong> Nothing significant to report<\/p><p><strong>Celtics Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG: <\/strong>Jrue Holiday | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Jaylen Brown | <strong>SG\/SF: <\/strong>Derrick White | <strong>SF<\/strong>\/<strong>PF<\/strong>: Jayson Tatum | <strong>C: <\/strong>Kristaps Porzingis&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players<\/strong>: <strong>C: <\/strong>Luke Kornet, <strong>C<\/strong>: Al Horford, <strong>SF<\/strong>: Sam Hauser, <strong>PG<\/strong>: Payton Pritchard<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates<\/strong>: Nothing significant to report<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks Total Over\/Under Prediction- NBA Best Bets<\/strong><\/h2><p>The Knicks&rsquo; previous series against Detroit hovered over the 205 mark. Both teams scored 110+ in three of the six games. Meanwhile, Boston had many more defensive battles, with none of the games touching the 220-point mark, However, the Celtics scored 107 or more in three games. <\/p><p>The Magic had a better defense than the Knicks, but don&rsquo;t underestimate their defensive unit there. Overall, there is a high chance of the game falling &ldquo;Under&rdquo; the stipulated mark.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Total: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>U 212.5 for -105 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Celtics: Points&nbsp; <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>Under 110.5 for +-102 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks Player Props Predictions- NBA Betting Picks<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Jayson Tatum to score over 28.5 points: <\/strong>Tatum is in playoff takeover mode and averaged 30+ PPG against an elite defensive team. He scored 30+ in three of the four regular-season games.

They beat them by double-digits in three games, while the fourth match went into overtime where Boston escaped with a 2-point win. New York will hope they don&rsquo;t repeat their regular-season disappointments here.<\/p><p> I think they are prepared for a more effective effort. However, it seems too risky to bet on a win for them.

I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats.

I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/shubham-singh-498421175\/"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/shubham-singh\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47616"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47616"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47616\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47997,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47616\/revisions\/47997"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
