This looks like a great bet. The Celtics have a better all around team, and I think they will shut down the Knicks.
Thoughts ?

I am tryin to figure out why its such a good line, then again the Knicks are winning a lot. Just wins against lesser quality teams though. They do have the revenge factor for this game, but their talent just isn't at the same level as the Celtics. IDK maybe this is a sucker bet

Not a trap. The Knicks are playing well right now. The game should be close.

I would consider Boston 1Q, Boston is +4.6 1Q this season while NY is -1.5 1Q, a differential of 6.1 points. The line will probably be -.5 or -1, might be worth looking into

Right. The books want you to take Boston. Hence the trap.

Celts are also 15-6-1 SU in the 1st this season. Knicks are 9-14-2 SU in 1st. Seems like a good play.
Celts won the 1st between these two teams in the last meeting 27-20 btw.

Explain to me how the books want you to take boston?
It's pretty obvious to me they want you to take the Knicks on the ML...

in most people's minds the knicks are not being taken seriously and the celtics are one of the top 3 teams in the nba. they are both on winning streaks and playing mainly garbage teams. +3.5 for a home team playing like the knicks are is a lot of points and a significant number. novice bettors don't realize it.

Tempted to take the +3.5 at plus money (+105 at Pinnacle). As stated above, 3 is a key number so getting +3.5 for a home team in good form is a pretty decent bet in the NBA. Think Celtics are the correct favourite here but even if they win, I don't think it will be by a big margin. I actually think the -3.5/+3.5 is a very sharp line, I expect this one to be close.

And the Knicks aren't due for a loss? Boston put them back in their place.
