Command Analysis
New York Knicks
USACurrent form
New York on May 10, in the third match of the quarterfinals of the playoffs, being the underdogs, could not resist against Boston on their home floor, losing 93:115. The score in the series was 2-1 in their favor, but the game was like a cold shower: the first three quarters were lost, and only in the last the Knicks prevailed with a difference four points, but it was like a spoonful of honey in a barrel of tar. Jaylen Brunson tried his best, scoring 27 points, Karl-Anthony Towns scored a double-double (21 points, 15 rebounds), but Mikal Bridges (12 points) and Josh Hart (ten) did not ignite.
The Knicks' attack failed: only five of 23 three—pointers were hit, Oji Anunobi hit one of six shots, and Towns hit five of 18. Wingmen Bridges and Anunobi were like in a cage. If the forwards don't find themselves, Boston can take victory away from New York again. Tom Thibodeau's team (51 wins, 31 losses) is the third in the East in the regular season.

The Knicks take to the floor in full combat readiness. All the leaders are healthy and ready to tear like lions in the arena.

Boston Celtics
USACurrent form
Boston, after two matches where they lost a 20-point advantage in the third match, went out as if to war. The Celtics scored 20 of 40 three—pointers, and five players scored from 15 to 23 points at once - it's like a well-coordinated orchestra. They led by 25 points by halftime and by 26 by the end of the third quarter. The Knicks couldn't even make a comeback. The hero was reserve Payton Pritchard, who scored 23 points, and Jason Tatum was like a sniper — five of nine three-pointers, 22 points, nine rebounds, seven assists.
Jaylen Brown added 19 points, Kristaps Porzingis 17. Joe Mazzulla's team (61 wins, 21 losses), the second in the East in the regular season, showed that when they're on a roll, they can't be stopped.

Boston came to New York almost in full force. All the stars are healthy, only backup Sam Hoser is in the infirmary.

1.87Tip and bets
Boston showed in the third match that their car was fully operational. The bookmakers are betting on the Celtics again, and they can be understood — Porzingis and Horford strangled Towns, and Tatum is playing like a superstar. But New York is not a team that gives up. At home, where the stands roar like Niagara Falls, the Knicks have found the answers twice in this playoff run. Brunson should turn on leader mode, and Bridges and Anunobi should step out of the shadows. Thibodeau will set up defenses to take down Boston's sights from a long range. The Knicks will fight. It will be a match where the New York character and the support of the stands will play a role.
Our betting tip is for New York to win with a handicap of (+4.5) points, taking into account overtime in 2.10
Bet on the total
This series is going under the sign of protection, as predicted. The third match yielded only 208 points, a hair's breadth from the bookmakers' betting tip. The Knicks fell short of 100 points twice, which speaks volumes about Boston's iron defense. The bookmakers give a total of 211.5, and I expect the game to be tight again. The Knicks will try to score a hundred at home, but the Celtics will be strangled like a boa constrictor. Thibodeau and Mazzulla will set their teams up for a war on defense, and points will be hard to come by. It will be like a chess game, not fireworks.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 211.5 points, including overtime in 2.05
The bet on the player
Tatum is like a basketball tank that dominates under the shields. In the playoffs, he is third in rebounds with a 12.1 average per match, and in four of seven games he shot 14 or more rebounds. In the third match, he collected nine, but in the fourth game he will come out with fire in his eyes to show who is the king of the court. The 26-year-old forward will break through the total again, as he does with ease, especially against the Knicks.
Our betting tip is a total of more than Tatum (12.5) rebounds in 1.97
