Celtics vs Knicks Game Odds 4j714f
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Celtics | -6.0 (-110) | -245 | O 209.0 (-105) |
| Knicks | +6.0 (-110) | +205 | U 209.0 (-115) |
The Celtics are six point favorites for Game 4 after absolutely obliterating the Knicks in Game 3 by a final score of 115-93. Online sportsbooks still have Boston listed at -320 odds to win the series.
The best bet for tonight’s game in New York is for Payton Pritchard to score over 9.5 points at -125 odds.
Pritchard poured in 23 points in Game 3, recording his best game of the postseason thus far. He shot 8-16 from the field and had only attempted over ten shots in a single game in just one game prior.
Despite the lack of volume, Pritchard has still managed to clear ten points in five of his eight games in these playoffs. With Kristaps Porzingis struggling, more shots should be available for Pritchard to continue to fire.
Expect to see Pritchard play over 30 minutes and have the green light to shoot from downtown in Madison Square Garden tonight.

Jimmy Butler should be able to continue to score the ball at will. Bet on him to score over 26.5 points tonight against his former team.
Butler had somewhat of a slow start to the series, scoring 20 and 17 in each of the first two games before exploding for 33 in Game 3. It was just his second time shooting 20 or more shots in a game this postseason.
With the absence of Steph Curry still plaguing the Warriors, Butler has become the primary ball handler as well as the first scoring option for Golden State, meaning he will have plenty of opportunities to score the ball.
Butler has also reached the conference finals in each of his last two healthy playoff runs. There is little to no chance that Butler will go down without a fight.
Expect a large dose of Butler on offense tonight as he tries to will his team to tie up the series heading back to Minnesota.
