LiontipsNew York vs Boston. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
The Knicks managed to capitalise on Philadelphia's problems, leaving Pennsylvania with a victory. Sixers played that match without Embiid and Harden, but still managed to put up a fight to New York. Tom Thibodeau's men beat the opponent by just two points (106:104).
Jalen Brunson put up another high-scoring performance. He and R.J. Barrett combined for 45 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists. Seems like Julius Randle is not team's biggest star anymore, Brunson is performing much better now.
Massive support of home fans helped the Celtics to beat Chicago in the previous match. Jayson Tatum and Malcolm Brogdon combined for 61 points. Their effort helped the Celtics to beat the opponent by a 123:119 score.
Joe Mazzulla's men are coming to New York for a victory. Celtics failed to achieve a positive result in two latest matches. They were beaten by Chicago (102:120) and Cleveland (113:114).

Tip and bets
New York have lost the consistency, so we are not expecting another victory from Tom Thibodeau's men. Boston is a more difficult opponent than injury-plagued Philadelphia. Celtics put up a great performance against Chicago. They should be able to secure a victory in New York.
Our prediction - Handicap (-3) points on Boston
New Yorkers are not great on the offense, but they should be able to score 110 points. Thibodeau's men should be able to put up a fight at home. Opponents will probably beat the total.
