Celtics vs. Knicks Odds & Betting Predictions - May 12, 2025

Posting plays I just gave out on Buckets Live. Hopefully we can break out of the slump!

Celtics are evolving their coverages on KAT to disrupt his aggressiveness as the series unravels. He’s averaging just 18.7 PPG across the first three games of the series, and while the Knicks will be looking to play their best basketball to avoid losing momentum before heading back to Boston for Game 5, I think the Celtics' defensive adjustments have been effective enough to warrant a fade. New York has an implied team total of just 101.5 points, and Towns is playing through a broken thumb on his non-shooting hand—an injury he suffered with 7:21 left in the second quarter of Game 3. Perhaps it’s correlated or not, but his post-ups and rim scoring continues to trend down only recording just two paint touches in that game, and Boston continues to crowd him with high ball pressure from their wings, while Horford and Porzingis rotate as secondary rim protectors. #PlayerProps

o6/8 playoff games, and o57/64 games this season with 6+ attempts, almost 90%, so this juice is still a bargain. 75% to hit 3+ this year with 6+ att.

Laying some juice with this one but I think it’s worth it. White has hit this line in every matchup this series and actually every matchup this year against NYK, 7/7 averaging a little over 25 PR this year. Little ladder opportunity if you like

Expecting a minutes bump so will take a crack on a Zinger 🪜

Prove it game

The Knicks did not flush their entire future draft pick assets to get Mikal Bridges just to not utilize him tonight in what is argualbly the biggest New York Knick game since 2000
