After two disappointing home losses to start this semifinal series, the Boston Celtics face the difficult task of overcoming a two-game deficit, and their first step will be to win this clash at the New York Knicks‘ home.

Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks: Under 206.5

The Celtics’ defense succumbed in the last quarter in the first two games of this series, however, in the first half they showed their true level and limited the Knicks to 45 and 41 points. Nevertheless, the Knicks’ comebacks were thanks to their solid and suffocating defense in the second half, making one of the best offenses in the league, like the Celtics, suffer, who unsuccessfully attempted many three-point shots. Defenses will be important again here, so we expect them to leave another low-scoring result.

The Celtics wasted huge leads in the first two games of this series, both at home, so now it’s their turn to hit the road with the need to win. While the Celtics had two terrible results to start the series, it was all due to their poor performance in the last quarter, something they will surely know how to fix here, with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown at 100% and eager for revenge. The Knicks have already lost two home games in these playoffs, so we expect the Celtics to dominate things until the end and take the win.
