Knicks vs Celtics Game Odds 1a465t
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knicks | +5.0 (-110) | +160 | O 209.0 (-105) |
| Celtics | -5.0 (-110) | -185 | U 209.0 (-115) |
The Knicks were able to pull out a close victory in Game 4 at home, beating the Celtics 121-113. However, online sportsbooks still list the Celtics as favorites to win tonight despite Jayson Tatum suffering a ruptured Achilles.
The best play here is to take the Knicks to cover the five point spread at -110 odds.
New York won both of the first two games on the road after trailing by 20 points in each game.
Without Tatum, the Celtics will look to Jaylen Brown to carry most of the offensive load. Brown has been mediocre this series, averaging 20.5 points on just 37.7% shooting from the field.
Jalen Brunson was on a tear in Game 4, dropping 39 points on 56% shooting from the field. If he can continue to produce at that level, the Knicks have a solid chance of finishing off this series.

Bet On Brunson As Top Point Scorer 1h6g26
Jalen Brunson has -110 odds to be the highest scoring player in tonight’s game at online NBA sportsbooks, which is incredible value.
He has led the Knicks in scoring in three of four games this round and was the top overall point scorer in Games 1 and 3. He was not the top point scorer in Game 4 despite scoring 39 due to Jayson Tatum’s 42 point outburst.
Jaylen Brown has the second best odds of any player to lead the game in scoring with +175 odds, but has not sured 23 points in any game this series.
Derrick White and Karl-Anthony Towns both have +650 odds, but both have also scored a maximum of 23 points in a single game this series.
In a potential closeout game, expect Brunson to have the ball in his hands early and often. He should be the leading scorer of the game, barring an unforeseen turn of events.
