Betting Preview for New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics
The Knicks (25-23) have fallen on some hard times lately, losing four games in a row and slipping out of the guaranteed playoff list into seventh place in the Eastern Conference. It will be a tough battle taking on the Celtics (35-13), who are dominating the league right now.
This New York team has fared well on the road, with a 14-10 away record vs. 11-13 at home. But the Celtics at TD Garden are basically god mode, with an at-home record of 18-5.
But there are some cracks in the green team. They were on a nine-game winning streak until getting stopped in their tracks in a surprising 15-point loss to the 18-29 Orlando Magic.
For sports bettors, here are two more numbers to consider:
- The Knicks are 24-22-2 against the spread this season
- The Celtics are 26-22 against the spread this season
This Eastern Conference battle kicks off the night at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Betting Preview for Dallas Mavericks vs. Phoenix Suns
Over in the Western Conference, we have a tight race for playoff position. The Dallas Mavericks (25-23) are currently sitting in 5th place, and the Phoenix Suns (24-24) are in 8th. Just one game can make a big difference here.
So which team is hotter right now? It’s definitely Phoenix, who have put up over 105 points in their last five games and have won three in a row. Dallas, on the other hand, is in a little bit of a rut, losing four of their last five games and seven of their last ten. They also failed to hit 100 points in their last two games.
The Mavs are 8-15 on the road, while the Suns are 17-7 at home. Each team has taken one win and one loss in their two previous matchups.
Here’s how both teams have performed against the spread so far this season:
- Dallas 16-30-2 (the worst record ATS)
- Phoenix 25-23-0
The Western Conference matchup is the second game of the night on TNT, expected to tip off around 10 p.m. ET.
