Team records:<\/strong>
\nNew York: 19-36 SU, 24-31 ATS
\nBoston: 35-19 SU, 21-32-1 ATS<\/p>\nNBA odds: Celtics trying to snap funk against listless Knicks<\/h3>\n
New York is coming off a horrendous showing against Milwaukee and could be without recent trade pick-up Tracy McGrady. Here\u2019s the ins and outs of tonight\u2019s NBA betting matchup.<\/p>\n
Matchup: Knicks at Celtics<\/strong>
\nTime: 7:30 p.m. ET<\/strong>
\nVenue: TD Garden<\/strong>
\nSpread: Boston -10<\/strong>
\nOver\/Under: 196<\/strong><\/p>\nBoston\u2019s 114-105 loss at Denver on Sunday snapped a three-game winning streak. Still, the Celtics (35-19, 21-32-1 ATS) have had a decent February, going 6-3 straight up. That\u2019s not much consolation to NBA betting fans playing the lines, however, as the Celtics are a pitiful 3-6 against the spread during that stretch. Playing at home certainly isn\u2019t going to change things\u2014Boston is a pathetic 1-8-1 against the spread in its last 10 games at TD Garden.<\/p>\n
The Celtics remain the NBA\u2019s top defensive squad, allowing just 93.6 points per game. Their real problems originate on offense. The team sits 20th<\/sup> in the NBA at 98.5 points per game and Boston has failed to crack the 100-point mark in 15 of its past 17 games. That simply won\u2019t cut it. Ray Allen has at least shown signs of improvement over the past three games by cranking out 23.3 points per night. He\u2019s had an up-and-down season, however, and it\u2019s doubtful he can sustain this pace for long.<\/p>\nThe recently acquired Tracy McGrady hasn\u2019t been able to stop New York\u2019s seven-game losing streak. The Knicks (19-36, 24-31 ATS) have dropped 10 of their past 11 games and were horrific against Milwaukee on Monday, managing a pathetic 67 points. New York is 3-7 in its past 10 games against the spread. Playing on the road has produced exactly the same results, with the team going 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games away from home.![\"Online](\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_41\")
<\/p>\n
McGrady dropped 26 points in his Knicks debut against Oklahoma City but followed it up with just 15 versus the Bucks. He shot 5-14 and had a noticeable limp by the fourth quarter. He\u2019s questionable for tonight\u2019s game, which is nothing new for T-Mac. Even without McGrady, New York has produced a very productive offense this season, averaging 101.5 points per game (good for ninth in the NBA). It\u2019s the other end of the floor where disaster strikes\u2014the Knicks are 25th<\/sup> in the league by allowing 104.1 points per game.<\/p>\nWhen New York and Boston cross paths, it\u2019s usually bad news for the Knicks\u2014the Celtics are 9-1 straight up and 7-2-1 against the spread in their past 10 meetings with New York. The Knicks have managed to cover two of the past three.<\/p>\n
THE PICK<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Celtics haven\u2019t played well against the spread lately\u2014and at home they\u2019ve been positively awful. Mike D\u2019Antoni will get the Knicks to bounce back from a horrendous showing in Milwaukee to at least play competitive basketball. Boston will pull away at the end, but not enough to cover. Bet on the Knicks.<\/p>\n
