Jayson Tatum Over 14.5 Rebounds + Assists
Knicks vs Celtics, 7:00 p.m. ET
To start us off, we are taking Jason Tatum over 14.5 RA. He covered this line in 3/4 games against Orlando, and he already had a near triple-double this season against New York with a 25-10-9 game.
Tatum must protect the rim in this series and get active on the glass against a physical New York side.
He will also have to be a playmaker for sharp-shooting teammates like Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis.
Pick: Jayson Tatum Over 14.5 Rebounds + Assists
Josh Hart 5+ Assists

We are also taking Josh Hart to go over 4.5 assists tonight. He covered this line in every game except the first one against Detroit.
We all know Hart can get a triple-double anytime, and he is the ultimate hustle guy.
I expect Hart to play a key role in this series, as the Knicks will be relying on guys like him, Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby to keep this series close.
Pick: Josh Hart 5+ Assists
Celtics Moneyline
Knicks vs Celtics, 7:00 p.m. ET
Lastly, we are backing the Celtics to win at home tonight.
It is Game 1 against a bitter rival, so the TD Garden will be rocking.
Go with the better team at home; this is a no-brainer here.
