(NBA) Boston vs. New York,
Total: 207.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
Total: 207.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
Boston has seen the Under hit in six of its previous eight games. Last night’s game, a 99-97 loss to San Antonio, obviously stayed Under the total. The Celtics attempted only nine free throws in that loss and missed 19 of 28 threes.
Tonight, the Celtics are in New York to face a Knicks team that is on a 5-1 Under run. The Knicks also struggled from long-range in their last game, missing 22 of 28 threes. But they still won, beating Indiana 104-94. There were a lot of free throws attempted in that game (60) and I don’t see that number repeating itself for this game.
Case in point, there were 47 and 50 combined free throws attempted the first two times these teams met this year. Both games did go Over, but one was a 2OT game.
Boston is shooting only 42.8% its last five games, so they are in a slump. Their last three road games all stayed Under.
New York has averaged only 95.8 points over its past five games. But they’ve also only given up an average of 96.4 points. I’d say this has all the makings of a low-scoring game, so take the UNDER.
