Command Analysis
New York Knicks
USACurrent form
New York seemed to have caught the right wave at the finish of the regular season. The team has won five of its last six games, and it seems that the Knicks have found the rhythm that everyone is looking for in April. On April 7, they dealt with Phoenix quite confidently on their floor — 112:98. In fact, it was only in the final quarter that the hosts released the reins a little, allowing the visitors to slightly reduce the gap by just three points.
The main star of the evening was Oh Ji Anunobi — 32 points, and all with such composure that it was time to check if he had been replaced by an iceberg. Karl-Anthony Towns added a solid double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds, and Mikal Bridges contributed 22 points. Jaylen Brunson played more modestly, but still reliably — 15 points.
The result is 50 wins with 28 losses and a solid third place in the Eastern Conference. Tom Thibodeau's team is fine and clearly not going to slow down.
Disqualifications and injuries
The good news for the Knicks is that Jaylen Brunson is back in action! He has healed all the sores and is already going to the playground. But the Nuggets have a complete lineup—they're probably saving surprises for the playoffs.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last ten face-to—face matches, New York and Boston have consistently provided productive scoring - an average of 224 points per game.
However, the Knicks still can't find the key to the Celtics: three defeats in a row — and it hurts.
Approximate composition: Jaylen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Oh Gee Anunobi, Karl-Anthony Towns.

Boston Celtics
USACurrent form
And here's Boston, a team that goes on a regular schedule, like a tractor through virgin land. The Celtics have won 11 of their last 12 games. And even when Jason Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis weren't on the floor, they moved to Washington without the slightest sentiment — 124:90.
And it was not just a victory, but a victory with total dominance in all four quarters. Payton Pritchard took over the role of the offensive leader with 20 points. Derrick White held it — 19. Luke Cornet and Al Horford scored exemplary doubles. Kornet was especially impressed with 13 points, 14 rebounds and three more assists for beauty. Add Sam Hoser from 18, Brown from 15, and Holliday from 13, and here's a powerful basketball cocktail for you.
Joe Mazzulla's team is firmly in second place in the East with 58 wins and 20 losses, and has long since booked a place in the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Celtics have losses, but they're not critical yet. Horford dropped out with an injury, and the participation of the entire main five is questionable — they are taking care of the leaders before the main tournament of the spring. So there may be surprises at the start.
Interesting facts for betting
In the history of the regular season, Boston has a solid advantage over New York: 307 wins against 190 Knicks.
Approximate composition: Derrick White, Jrue Holliday, Jaylen Brown, Jason Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis.

1.87Tip and bets
We are waiting for another basketball night at Madison Square Garden. The atmosphere — fire, intrigue — is off the charts. Yes, Boston is scary and ruthless right now. But Tom Thibodeau has his own plan in store for this case: to stifle the defense, delay the pace, force the guests to throw from uncomfortable positions and play contact basketball. The Celtics' roster problems can make the match much more stubborn than it was before. And with the home stands and the fighting squad, the Knicks are quite capable of not only clinging to victory, but also giving a real battle to the favorite of the East.
Our betting tip is for New York to win in overtime in 1.88
Betting on an individual total
New York's average score in the current championship is 116.1. And in games at home it is slightly higher - 117.9. In the last three face—to-face meetings with Boston, the Knicks did not overcome the 110-point mark. But this time, the team from the Big Apple should take the chance and greatly upset the unmotivated opponent.
Our betting tip is that New York's individual total is more than 112.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
The bet for the first quarter
The start of the match at Madison Square Garden is always a separate story. New York usually starts matches at home on a roll. The audience, energy, and protection are at their maximum. The Knicks have lost only once in the first quarters of their last five home games, and then by a two—point margin. But Boston, on the contrary, often does not swing right away, especially on the road. Plus the defense factor of Thibodeau, plus the frenzied support of the stands, plus the attitude — everything suggests that the hosts will cling to the guests from the first minute.
Our betting tip is that New York's individual total is more than 112.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
