Must Win For New York

This is by far the biggest game of the season for the Knicks as a loss here would send two of the next three games back to Boston tied 2-2. That said, bettors can feel more than comfortable betting on the Knicks against the spread here at NBA betting sites and expect a competitive game.

The Knicks have kept things close all throughout the playoffs thus far, with seven of their nine games being decided by six points or less.

Updated Series Price Odds

Despite winning the first two games of the series and currently being up 2-1, the Celtics still find themselves favored to win the series overall against the Knicks with strong odds.
