what am i messing here?

celtics vs knicks spread.. what am i missing? all players available for boston, only loss 3 home games all season, is this line baiting me to take the celtics or knicks? boston has nothing to play for will they limit starter minutes? what you guys thinking?

Celtics clinched 1st.

Good chance Holiday sits. Porzingis too. Limited minutes for the starters. Knicks can still technically get 2nd so a win is important to them.

Denver vs Minn last night says it all.

Boston will win...when are they a dog?

When there are too many what if's probably best to stay away

@umgmu

 Wat?

Den & Min were playing each other for Home court advantage yesterday. That game had meaning for both teams. 

Celtics will not be playing physical ball tonight. 

The line shows that the GTDs are probably all going to be out.

Boston doesn't need the game so I'm leaning Knicks.

This doesn't mean Boston will just lay down and let them win either though since they're at home in front of the fans.  If their shots are falling, they'll keep playing.  If not, they probably won't try all that hard to come back and win.

2 scenarios where teams are going for the rare 5 game season sweeps.  I think Ny Knicks avoid the 5 game sweep by beating the uninterested Boston team and then the Pelicans conversely completes the 5 game sweep due to a bad matchup for Sacramento.  

Those 50+ 3 points attempts and 0 free throw attempts at Milwaukee, yeah that's some matador style basketball 

Weird, all of the Celtics players are confirmed now (except Brissett) and the line is sitting at BOS -2.5

But that doesn't mean they're going to play a full game.  Mazzula might pull the starters after halftime

I get they will shoot at least for the first half. But man you don't want anyone going down. I played bucks last game against them. Ez winner. But if Celtics want it they will but rest is up to the coach.  Depends on three point shooting. I'm taking the points but never ez going against the Celtics. Rest of the team going to give it their all. And maybe they will shoot 5 Free throws. Hope I get the 3.5 to click. GL all 

Is it possible Boston wants the Knicks as the 3 seed? If Boston could hand pick, wouldnt they want the Sixer v Knicks in Round 1 (very possible), and the winner of that playing the Bucks in round 2? It's unlikely any of them beat the Celtics, but regardless, those are the three teams the probably would want to avoid at this point, and they could all be on the opposite side of the bracket.

Can’t see Celtics stars playing all game, especially since several of them have minor injuries , Knicks second half at +110 may be the play

Nicks win, Boston will not be playing hard and will be sitting in the 3-4th qt. 

I don’t think Boston wants to lose again at home and they also don’t want to get any players injured in a meaningless game . Maybe Boston comes out hard and plays a good first half to send a message than rests their players . 

@diondimucci

Took this play at +115

Good call.
