New York Knicks / Boston Celtics Over 222 (-108)

Neither team has a starting center, so there won’t be much rim protection.
The Knicks also have Karl-Anthony Towns and he’s certainly not known for his defensive prowess.
Achiuwa is also out, which means the Knicks will have to dig deep into their bigs or play more small ball.

These two teams averaged 225 points in their five meetings last season, and no team has their best rim protectors.

The total has gone OVER in 11 of New York's last 15 games on the road
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Boston's last 5 games when playing at home against New York

Although public betting has 85% of the money on the over, given the above, I can't take the under in this game.

Nothing more here other than
The chances of the Lakers bursting out of the gates and beating a Western Conference Finalist (that probably thinks it left something on the table and has more to prove) are nowhere near this good, in my opinion. I'll take the Timberwolves tonight BOL2A
