1.88Tip and bets
Boston plays like a well-established orchestra, and New York plays like a daring team with burning hearts. The Celtics are the backbone of the championship: Tatum, Brown, Porzingis, Holliday, White — they're like a machine that knows how to win. Their defeat of Orlando showed that they are on fire. But New York is not about whipping boys. Brunson is like a sniper, Bridges and Anunobi cut through the defense, and Towns and Hart plow under the ring. Their victory over Detroit in a hard-fought series shows that they are ready for the meat grinder. The bookies are betting on the Celtics. Yes, they are at home, with championship experience, but the Knicks are like a team that has caught its wave right now. Brunson and company will cling to every ball and will not let themselves be blown away. It will be a fight where Thibodeau's team will show their teeth, and the match will be a real show.
Our betting tip is for New York to win with a handicap of (+8.5) points, taking into account overtime in 1.94
Bet on the total
The Knicks' series against the Pistons held at about 205 points, with three games where both teams shot 110+. Boston played defense like a wall: not a single game against Orlando broke 220. But the Celtics scored 107 or more three times, and the Knicks know how to spark offensively. In regular season head-to-head matches, teams rarely soared high, and in the playoffs, the defense will be tougher. We are waiting for a hard-fought match, where the score will not fly into space, but will remain within reasonable limits.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 215.5 points, including overtime in 1.63
The bet on the player
Karl-Anthony Towns is a monster pick—up player, second in the regular season in rebounds with an average of 12.8 per match. He dropped a little bit in the playoffs - 10.1, but he'll come out against Boston with bright eyes. Towns will plow under the ring, fighting Porzingis and Mobley. The Big Bodega will collect more than 11.5 rebounds, showing that its engine is working at full capacity.
Our betting tip is a total more than Karl-Anthony Towns (11.5) rebounds in 1.97
