*10* play on New York Knicks.

The New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics have headed in opposite directions since a 100-91 Celtics win at TD Garden in the last meeting a little over two weeks ago. I like the smoking hot Knicks to get revenge as a small home favorite tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Hot vs. Cold - The Celtics lost 101-98 at Memphis Sunday, their fifth loss in their six games since defeating the Knicks and they're 1-5 ATS in that span. The New York Knicks meanwhile have covered the spread in five straight games while winning all but one outright.

2. Carmelo Anthony - The Knicks' forward had 29 points and 10 rebounds in the loss at Boston last month and is off a solid performance in Sunday's 100-88 win against the Bucks when he scored 24 points with eight assists and 10 boards.

3. X-Factor - The Knicks are 5-1 ATS in their last six in front of the home-town crowd.

Selection: This is a play on the New York Knicks (10*)
