    Whoa this line seems a bit shady. I wasn't expecting Boston to be laying 3 points to the Knicks. Books are tempting people to take Knicks plus the points.

    Give me some Celtics, looks like they have found a nice 2nd half stride since the All-Star Break.

      Knicks still don't impress me. They were losing the Cavs game until Novak caught fire beyond the arc. And that was without Varejao. You have to think that Boston@Boston is going to be a tough game. I kinda like the 1H and possibly the game on the C's

        Books know they are going to get hit hard with NY bets regardless of the line thanks to Linsanity.

            I was thinking this line would be closer to a pickem.

            Your trying to tell me that if this game was in NY, that NY would only be -3 (assuming home court is worth 3 points). I'm not buying it. Something's not right here.

              I like Celtics here. They have looked better since the break, while the Knicks look a whole lot worse since the return of Melo

                Line looks right to me. I had the Celtics -3.1 I also think if the game was in NY, that yes, you'd be looking at the Knicks -3. Books would likely shade and open the Knicks -4 and adjust as the money comes in.

                I think this game is a coin toss. Would lean towards Knicks. Knicks have played one game since break, will they be fresh or rusty? Celtics have been busy with 3 games against bottom tier teams. 1-1 at home/ 1-2 ATS, since break.

                Both had common opponent (Cavs) Boston - 3 1/2 smoked by the hook, beating Cavs 86-83 in Clev. Knicks covered the 10 at home with big comeback 120-103. Cavs are letting everyone back into games, so?

                I see better opp's in other games, but it is an early Tv game. If I play it, might consider Knicks Money line. They haven't posted it where I play, but looking at the current number, I would guess Knicks + 120 - +125 range. Celtics - 130 - - 135 range.

                  I like the under, only thing that scares me is the # of turnovers that Jeremy Lin will have which will lead to fast points, that kind of scares me.
                  But with melo back in the game, knicks seem to have slowed it down a bit to favour the half court more, and novak usually doesnt catch fire on the road =P

                    this game can go either way actually,
                    but strong lean toward Celtics

                    The only worry is the Knicks become a balance of attack team now + BD off the bench

                      The play here is Rondo over points

                                Rondo is one of the best defensive point guards in the NBA right now. He will give the Knick's offense trouble. I like the Celtics at home and will give the 2.

                                  Lots of things to consider. The Celtics can't hold on to a lead. They get run down in the 4th. I don't play half lines, but if I did, I'd be apt to playing Celts 1H. I think they're better, but don't trust them to cover.

                                        this game is a pick'em. if the knicks are for real, they should win this. should be a super close game but if the knicks have improved as much as they "think" they have, then they should grind out a very close win here.

                                            What about over 12 3 pointers scored in game? Lin can hit it, Melo can, JR, Ray ray, Pierce, practically 3/4 of Knicks team. If I'm lucky Novak plays 20 minutes and bangs 5 of them hoho

                                              Nice. Already a few 3pts scored

                                              Highest lead also won't go over 15 pts


                                              Hope I don't fukking jinx it now LOL
