Take #501 Knicks Over Celtics
(NBA) Knicks (NYK) vs. Celtics (BOS),
Point Spread: 5.50 | -110.00 Knicks (NYK) (Away)
Result: Loss
The Knicks made are starting this year after the big trade, they sent Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to Minnesota to acquire Karl-Anthony Towns. Now the Knicks have a pretty good starting five with Towns, Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges, alongside Josh Hart - The Celtics had a pretty interesting off-season, Jaylen Bron who was NBA Finals MVP was not even invited to be on the Olympic team, and Jason Tatum was put on the back burner, he didn't play nearly as much as people thought he would - It is the banner raising night though and I typically like to fade teams in this situation, Championship hangover at it's finest. I think the Knicks hang tough after having to watch the banner raising, I think they will be irritated by that and I think this team gels together quickly, and I like the Knickerbockers to hang tough here, I will take the points.
