New York, New York: Knicks to Cover Against Celtics | Thebigtip

The New York Knicks have been an outstanding team to bet this year and that is set to continue against the Boston Celtics on Thursday.

The Knicks have gone 17-7-1 against the line and have filled punters pockets all season on their way to a 16-9 record. For the first time in a decade the Knicks are a quality team who can be bet with confidence. The Knicks have covered 13 of their last 15 including a 4-2 record against the line at Madison Square Garden. As an outsider, the Knicks are 11-1-1 against the bookmaker’s number and they have not lost as a home dog all season.

The Knicks have also covered in four of their last five against their long-time rivals.

Bookmakers are giving the Knicks 3 ½ points against the Celtics and can expect to be paying out because of it. The Celtics are flying but this game should be pick ‘em.

This battle of the only two remaining teams from the original 1946 NBA may not have the likes of Bill Russell, Willis Reed, Larry Bird or Clyde Frazier on court but there are plenty of quality players in hot form with the likes of Stoudemire, Garnett and Rondo all playing great ball.

This will be an outstanding game and one you want to be on the plus.
