The Knicks are 31-11 ATS in their last 42 road games and 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Celtics are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 5-2 in Knicks last 7 Sunday games. The over is 4-1 in Celtics last 5 home games. The over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

The Boston Celtics are the rightful favorites here, especially at home, and it wouldn't be surprising to see a comfortable victory. However, there's some value with the Knicks and the points given their current form and the boost of confidence they're riding right now. While the Knicks are no strangers to ripping their fans' heart out, they're playing good ball at the moment and deserve a look as long as it continues. Give me the road dog.
