Knicks vs. Celtics Player Props & Best Bets Today: NBA Prop Picks (Feb. 8)
My best Knicks vs. Celtics player props today focus on Payton Pritchard, Mikal Bridges, and Derrick White. Today’s game at TD Garden in Boston tips off at 12:30 p.m. ET (ABC). The Celtics are favored by 4.5 points.
Though both of these teams rank in the top seven in points allowed per game, neither defends the 3-point line well. Below, I highlight how that will impact my NBA best bets.

💰 Best Knicks vs. Celtics prop bet: Payton Pritchard Over 5.5 assists (+106)
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Pritchard is averaging 5.3 assists per game. But coming off a one-assist night against the Heat, the price for him to go slightly Over that average is excellent. Pritchard has at least seven assists in three of his last five games.
While Pritchard only recorded three assists the last time he faced the Knicks, he also only played 30 minutes. When he played 36 minutes against the Knicks earlier this year, he recorded six assists.
🔥 More Knicks vs. Celtics prop picks
Mikal Bridges Over 2.5 made 3-pointers (+158)
Bridges is only averaging 2.2 made 3-pointers per game, but he’s made at least three in two of his last three contests. Additionally, though the Celtics are allowing the second-fewest points in the league, they’re giving up 14.0 made 3-pointers per contest, tied for the sixth-most in the league.
Bridges went 8-of-12 from beyond the arc in the previous meeting against Boston. Additionally, he’s shot at least 50% from deep in both his games against the Celtics this season.
Derrick White Over 4+ made 3-pointers (+164)
White has made at least four 3-pointers in back-to-back games, as he looks to put a shooting slump that lasted all of January behind him.
White has made at least three 3-pointers in both games against the Knicks, including four the last time these teams met. The Knicks are allowing opponents to make 36.2% of their 3-point attempts. Considering White has at least 11 attempts in both games against the Knicks, I love this Over for a great price.
