The Knicks couldn’t close out the series in Game 5 on the road, but I expect them to bounce back with a strong effort at the Garden on Friday.
New York has been the better team overall and will play with a sense of urgency, aiming to avoid a return to Boston for Game 7.
Pick: Knicks ML

Celtics vs. Knicks, 8:00 p.m. ET
Jalen Brunson has a reputation for stepping up in critical moments.
The former Villanova standout leads the Knicks with 29.4 points per game in the postseason.
After a quieter Game 5, where he managed just 22 points, I anticipate a more aggressive approach from Brunson on Friday, likely attempting 20-plus shots en route to 30-plus points.
Pick: Jalen Brunson 3o+ Points
