The New York Knicks and Boston Celtics both enter this game with 0-1 records, meaning each team is looking to bounce back after opening losses. Boston hosts the matchup, and the betting odds give them a slight edge. The Celtics are favored by 2.5 points, with the home spread priced at -115. That means you’d need to risk $115 to win $100 betting on Boston to cover the spread. Meanwhile, the Knicks are the underdogs at +2.5 with odds of -105, so a $105 bet wins $100 if New York keeps the game within 2 points or wins outright.
Looking at the moneyline, Boston is the favorite at -148, which implies you must bet $148 to win $100 on a Celtics victory. The Knicks’ moneyline sits at +124, so a $100 wager on New York would yield $124 if they pull off the upset.
The total for the game is set at 222.5 points. The over is slightly favored at -112, meaning you’d bet $112 to win $100 if the combined score goes above 222.5. The under is close at -108, where a $108 bet wins $100 if the teams score 222 points or fewer.
Since both teams are 0-1, this game could be competitive. The Celtics have a modest home advantage reflected in the odds. If you expect a tight, lower-scoring game, the Knicks plus the points or the under might be worth a look. If you trust Boston to bounce back strongly at home, the Celtics on the spread or moneyline are solid options.
