LiontipsNew York vs Boston. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Knicks will have a really strong team in this season. In the offseason New York team managed to keep their leaders and also signed Kemba Walker. Ex-Hornet failed to establish himself at Boston. He will probably play better at Knicks. Aside from Walker, club also acquired Evan Fournier. Frenchman used to be a leader of Orlando, so he will surely strengthen Knicks' squad.
In preseason matches Tom Thibodeau's men played well. They won all matches, beating Indiana, Washington and Detroit.
Boston will start the new season with almost the same squad. They have only one major loss - Walker left the team. Though this transfer is unlikely to affect Celtics' performance. Ex-Hornet did not become a key player for Boston, so he was sent away from TD Garden. After his departure club signed Al Horford and Moses Brown.
Ime Udoka's men were not looking great in preseason matches. After victories over Orlando and Toronto Celtics suffered defeats to Magic in the second match (102:103) and to Miami (100:121).

Tip and bets
During the offseason Knicks strengthened the squad. They recorded two victories over Boston in the previous season. Now they will have Fournier and Walker in their squad. Kemba needs to prove that Celtics' board let him go too early. Walker will give it all in the match against his former team. We think that he will help the Knicks to record a victory.
Our prediction - New York to win (Including OT)
In the preseason Knicks put up a great offensive performance. In 3 out of 4 matches they managed to score more than 115 points. We think that Thibodeau will make his players to play it quick. We are expecting a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total over 219,5 points
