Expert Picks & Predictions for Tuesday’s Celtics vs. Knicks Game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) is favoring the Knicks for a potential win:

“Initially, I was surprised to see the Knicks as slight underdogs, but given the Celtics’ injury woes and inconsistent lineup, my surprise waned. With Jalen Brunson back, the Knicks have rejuvenated their confidence. Achieving a victory at MSG against the Celtics would be a significant morale boost before the postseason, making it Knicks ML or pass for me, especially since Boston holds a 3-0 record against New York this season.”
