This matchup features two very good defensive teams. The Celtics have several new players on this season's roster, including Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. While these are All-Star caliber additions, we anticipate some early growing pains until the offense gels together. The Knicks will have nearly the exact same starting lineup as last season. When Brunson, Grimes, Barrett, Randle, and Robinson all started last season, the Knicks had the 2nd best offensive rating in the league (123.8). The only team who’s starting 5 had a better offensive rating was the NBA Champion Denver Nuggets. We have two separate wagers in this game. The first wager is a half unit on the Knicks +4 (via BetRivers). We are also laying an additional half unit on under 225 total points to be scored (via PointsBet). In total, our risk is 1 unit.
