LiontipsBoston — New York NBA match forecast and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
The Celtics continue to bend their line and broke away from the group of pursuers. The team is consistently among the leaders of the Eastern Conference, demonstrating excellent teamwork and team spirit. In the last match, Joe Mazzulla's team defeated Philadelphia (124:104). Jason Tatum became the real leader on the floor, scoring 20 points, and Payton Pritchard added 28 more.
Boston has won 8 of the last 9 matches, showing not only a great attack, but also reliable defense. The team looks even more convincing at home - the Celtics control the pace of the game, make excellent three-point shots and leave almost no chances for their opponents. The next match against New York is another opportunity to strengthen our position before the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Javier Tillman will not play in the next match due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
The Celts have won four of their last five matches.
Approximate composition: Holiday-White, Porzingis-Tatum, Brown.
Current form
The Knicks retain third place in the conference, but their recent results leave much to be desired. Tom Thibodeau's team defeated Cleveland (105-142). In that meeting, the Knicks' defense looked confused, as the opponent had no problems opening up the defense and scoring points from any distance.
Despite the setbacks, the Knicks have a strong roster and the potential to get back in shape. Karl-Anthony Towns and Jaylen Brunson can turn the tide of the game, but for this the team needs to find a balance between attack and defense. The match against Boston will be a serious test, but at the same time it will also be an opportunity to prove that New Yorkers are able to compete with top clubs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Josh Hart, Kevin McCullar and Mitchell Robinson will not play due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
The Knicks have won four of their last five away games.
Approximate composition: Achiuwa-Anunobi, Towns-Bridges, Brunson.

Boston is approaching the match in great shape. The team confidently controls the course of the game, demonstrating excellent teamwork and individual leadership skills. The Celtics recently defeated New York and are clearly determined to repeat this success in front of their fans.
The Knicks are going through a crisis, but they have proven more than once that they can come back after defeats. It is important that the team leaders show their best and try to change the course of the game. Nevertheless, given Boston's form and New York's defensive problems, the home team has a better chance of winning.
Our forecast is for Boston to win, taking into account the handicap (-6.5) points in 1.76
Bet on the total
The last meetings of these teams have been productive, and, most likely, this match will not be an exception. Boston always plays aggressively in attack at home, while New York, trying to rehabilitate itself for past defeats, is unlikely to play defensively.
Forecast - total more than 230 points in 1.71
Betting on statistics
The Celtics are a real scoring machine on their floor. Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard and other team leaders are in great shape and ready to show their best. Given the instability of the Knicks' defense, it can be assumed that Boston will easily break through the individual total.
Prediction – Boston's individual total is more than 119.5 points per 1.79
