Free Betting Pick: Boston Celtics +1
The Boston Celtics fell apart against the Philadelphia 76ers in their opening game, but I was able to take some positives out of that game as they showed grit on the defensive side of the court. The Boston Celtics have a very talented starting lineup and that includes their newly acquired PG Kemba Walker who struggled in his Celtics debut as he only connected on 4 of his 18 field goal attempts. The Celtics will need to receive a ton of production out of the all-star guard if they want to be successful, but the positive is the wings played well as Hayward and Tatum combined for 46 points. The Knicks are more talented than they were a year ago, but it is still hard to see them competing against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Final Score Prediction, Boston Celtics win and cover ATS 109-97.
