Command Analysis
Current form
On April 10, at the legendary Madison Square Garden, the audience got exactly what they love about basketball - drama, rhythm, and character. The Boston Celtics came to visit the Knicks, and the match turned out to be in the NBA textbooks right now. The result is 112:106 in favor of the hosts, but behind these numbers lies a real chess game on the floor. The first quarter was left to the guests — 29:26, and it seemed that Boston was in control of the situation. But the Knicks are a team that knows how to be patient. In the second, they neatly, without too much fuss, turned the tide of the game — 28:24, and left for the big break with a tiny but important advantage.
The third quarter is back for the Celtics — 30:27, and now the intrigue is twisted to the limit. And then there's the signature New York character. In the fourth quarter, the hosts literally crushed the opponent — 31:23, and they did it the way only confident teams can. Josh Hart became the main character — 26 points, confidence in every shot, composure at key moments. The Knicks are currently third in the East (52-28), and the playoffs are not their goal, but their starting point.
Current form
The Raptors hosted the Miami Heat on April 10 and put on a real show — 128:114. Moreover, they started in such a way that the opponent could not recover for a long time. The first quarter is 32:26, a confident start. The second was generally devastating, 37:24, and by the big break the difference already looked like a verdict — plus 19. Toronto played fast, aggressively and with obvious pleasure.
In the third quarter, Miami tried to come back — 40:33, and for a moment there was a whiff of intrigue. But the Raptors turned on the cold calculation in time — 26:24 in the final segment and calmly bringing the match to victory. Brandon Ingram gave a real concert — 38 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists. It was the case when the player literally leads the team behind him. R.J. Barrett scored 22 points and 6 rebounds.

Tip and bets
The Knicks, after defeating Boston, look like a team that knows exactly what it wants. They have balance, depth of the squad and, most importantly, confidence in the endings. Hart, Brunson, and Towns are no longer just a set of surnames, but a real system. Toronto is the mood team. At home, they can rip anyone apart, as was the case with Miami. But on the road, the picture often changes: concentration is lost somewhere, protection is sagging somewhere. Let's add to this the injury factor: the situation is more stable for the hosts, while the guests have personnel losses. And we get a logical conclusion — the Knicks look stronger in this pair.
Our prediction is that New York will win by a handicap of (-4.5) points in 1.72
