Today's play is on:
Boston Celtics (-3.5)(-105) vs. New York Knicks. 6.3 units to win 6.
My logic here is that NY has been beating avg teams while Boston has shown consistent wins against a tougher schedule. Of the 5 starters on the floor for each team, I think Boston wins the advantage in 4 out of 5. Shaq is out for tonights game, but I think that might actually help Boston. Amare is a much faster and craftier play than Shaq, perhaps big baby will be able to stay stride for stride with him better than Shaqtus. There is a ton of hype on NY for this game, with them winning 8 straight. They also play Miami in their next contest. I know Boston is not a team to overlook, but you have to wonder if NY is already thinking about the big 3 coming to town. I can see NY dropping this game tonight, and then coming out with a vengeance against the Heat.
