Boston vs New York: prediction for the NBA match

Boston lost 4 out of 5 most recent matches, but Celtics had tough opponents. Ime Udoka's men were fighting hard, but failed to achieve success. Most of those matches were away for the Celtics. They suffered defeats to Phoenix (90:111), Lakers (102:117) and Clippers (111:114). 

But Boston's performance improved after the return to home arena. In the first match they beat Milwaukee (117:103). In the second match Udoka's men failed to beat Golden State, but managed to put up a fight to the leader of the West (107:111). 

Knicks lost the handicap, which they had at the start of the regular season. So far Tom Thibodeau is unable to improve team's performance. He switched many strategies, but Knicks are still unsuccessful. New York team lost 4 out of 5 most recent matches. Seems like team's squad needs to be strengthened. 

Despite all the problems, New York recorded a victory in the most recent match. But Knicks played against one of the underdogs - Houston. Rockets were beaten by a 116:103 score.
