Advice and prediction
Kemba Walker is out for the Celtics as expected, and Evan Fournier will also miss Wednesday’s game due to health and safety protocols.
With the Celtics feeling weary and missing two key players, this line is certainly attractive for Knicks bettors. New York just pushed the Brooklyn Nets to a two-point game, and Julius Randle has been impressive for the Knicks, following up a 29-point outing in a blowout win with a triple-double against Brooklyn. In their first meeting early this season, the Knicks destroyed the Celtics 105-75, though Boston was missing Jayson Tatum in that game. Still, the Knicks will likely keep this game close and low-scoring. I’m taking the points, New York +3.
Prediction: Knicks 106, Celtics 103
