He vindicated the decision in Game 1. The Celtics were down by three points with three seconds left in OT when Bridges chased Jaylen Brown during an inbound situation and snatched the ball away from his hands. Chance for a game-tying shot; denied.<\/p><p>The Celtics shouldn&rsquo;t have let things come to a single possession anyway. They had a 20-point lead around the midway point of the third quarter. However, the Knicks&rsquo; intense defense came to their resthe cue.<\/p><p>A 23-12 run by Knicks gave them momentum, and then they shut the Celtics down to just 16 points in the fourth quarter, while managing 23. As usual, Jalen Brunson made key shots in the final quarter while OG Anunoby was clutch in both the fourth quarter and OT periods.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Knicks limited Boston to a mere 35.1% shooting, making two more triples than them (17 compared to 15). The Celtics attempted a whopping 60 triples(61% of their FG attempts) while the Knicks nailed more threes with 23 fewer attempts.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Jaylen Brown made just 1 of 10 three-point attempts, and Tatum 4 of 15. The Celtics eked out 19 offensive rebounds compared to 12 by the Knicks and made five more free throws, but their insistence on shooting the long ball held them back. <\/p><p>Their approach can be criticized, but it was also a huge reason behind their 2024 championship. At any rate, for the Knicks, Brunson had 29 points while Anunoby showed off with a 29-point piece. Was Game 1 an aberration or a serious wake-up call to the three-point heavy Celtics?<\/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>: Kristaps Porzingis is PROBABLE.

The bookmarks judged nearly identical odds around the 212-point mark, so somehow, they were on point. Last game, my prediction for an &ldquo;Under&rdquo; missed by just one point, but I did get the Celtics under of 110.5 right.<\/p><p> Thus, the series was expected to be off to a low-scoring start. I believe things will be in a similar territory. The bookmakers believe the Knicks will be held around 100, but I see them going over the mark while holding the Celtics below the stipulated 110 mark again.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Knicks: <\/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>Over 100.5 for +100 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 +100 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>JT had a sub-par 23 points night when I had chosen the &ldquo;Over&rdquo; for him in terms of points(O 28.5).

This was the third straight game where he hit the &ldquo;Under&rdquo; mark.

New York faced tricky situations against the Detroit Pistons and didn&rsquo;t panic because they had snatched victories from the jaws of defeat in that series. <\/p><p>But now the Celtics know what they are dealing with pretty well. They must re-evaluate the plan to take 60 shots from deep. Yes, they won a title like this before, but playoffs are all about adjustments. <\/p><p>Boston knows how to recover from temporary setbacks and has more playoff experience than New York. I expect them to bounce back, but like on six straight occasions, I am hesitant to take the favorite here to win by 10+ points. I believe New York will cover the spread here even if they lose<\/p><p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-716c7cf1ed0dd39a4e131fe3d6ba3596\"><strong>Safe Spread Pick: <\/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>&nbsp;Spread: Knicks +9.5 for +110 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/a><\/p><p><strong>Betting Lines<\/strong>&ndash;<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Spread:<\/strong> Knicks: +10.5: -110.

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.
