Knicks at Celtics Betting Picks

Celtics Moneyline (-108)

Even with the Boston Celtics being a far cry from the team they were a year ago, they're still a very slight 1.5-point favorite at home against the New York Knicks. While that could be surprising to some, I think it's selling Boston short a little bit.

Across the last 10 games, Boston and New York have the exact same net rating (+5.9). Offense has been the name of the game for Boston as they're third in offensive rating during that span, compared to 20th in defensive rating.

Despite being short-handed, the Celtics have kept doing what they do on offense -- bombing from three. They're third in treys attempted per game (43.0) as well as fourth in three-point attempt rate (46.8%).

That makes them a volatile team. If the threes are falling, they can beat anyone. If they're not falling, they can lose to anyone.

Boston can really lean into the three-ball in this matchup with the Knicks because New York is allowing the second-highest three-point attempt rate (46.5%).

With the Celtics playing at home and shooting the ball really well of late -- 40.1% from three over their past four games -- I am backing them to have a good night from three and top New York.

Payton Pritchard 3+ Made Threes (-156)

Given I think Boston is going to take a boatload of threes tonight, I'm also intrigued by the over on the three-point props on a few of their guys. Payton Pritchard to make at least three triples is my favorite of the bunch.

Pritchard started the campaign ice-cold from deep, shooting 18.0% from three across his first seven games of the season. It's been much better since.

From that point forward, Pritchard is making 41.8% of his three-point tries, averaging 3.5 makes on 8.5 tries per game.

Pritchard is posting career-high numbers in points per game (17.5), three-point attempts per game (8.0) and usage rate (21.5%). He's in a great spot to take advantage of a Knicks defense that is conceding the second-highest three-point attempt rate.
