NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Boston Celtics at New York Knicks on October 24. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.
The Celtics will create spacing and ball-movement around the perimeter against the Knicks, which should give clean looks for an atypical big like Kristaps Porzingis. KP is making his Boston debut and our betting picks like him to shine.After a two-game appetizer last night, the full course meal of NBA action arrives tonight as 24 of the league’s 30 teams are in action. Headlining the entire slate is a national TV Atlantic Division showdown between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks.
The Knicks play a conservative style. Their goal is to deny drives and access to the basket more than force turnovers or deny passing lanes. That means the Celtics won’t feel much pressure moving the ball around the perimeter in most cases, and passes that get to Porzingis can prove particularly deadly because the Knicks will always play a traditional five who wants to be anchored in the paint., and he has a bad habit of helping aggressively off centers no matter their shooting pedigree.
Porzingis averaged seven 3-point attempts per 36 minutes in the preseason. On those attempts, he hit 50% of them. While I won’t predict KP will torch the Knicks to quite that level, he only needs to hit two to clear this far-too-low prop.The Celtics are one of the elite title contenders this season, they’re fully healthy and have a few pressure points that should give them an edge against New York despite being on the road.
That gap ballooned this offseason, however, in a couple of key areas that are likely to make this a more difficult matchup for New York going forward.for much of the night
