Boston vs New York

Boston comes into this one needing to take game 4 of the series and showing the kind of cohesion and depth that’s been tough for opponents to match. New York, meanwhile, is riding relatively high having taken games 1 and 2 away from home, albeit as rather close contests before losing by 22 in game 3. With game 4 proving to be a pivotal game in this series, the visitors have both the motivation and the roster advantage to impose their style at both ends of the floor.

This feels like a classic spot where the better, deeper, and healthier team gets it done—even on the road. The price at –260 doesn’t offer fireworks, but it’s a strong position backed by consistency and favorable matchups. It’s a clear B grade pick—low risk, solid reward.

Boston return to MSG having taken a big win in game 3, while New York arrives having underperformed in the last game and still navigating limited minutes for some key frontcourt pieces. Both teams favour a methodical, defence-first approach, and wand with game 4 either starting the series over or blowing it wide open, there's little incentive to push the pace or wear down stars in a game unlikely to shift much in the standings. Boston’s defensive scheme continues to choke off high-scoring efforts, and New York’s own strategy thrives in low-tempo settings.

Given the recent scoring patterns, the return of rim protection on both sides, and the tendency for these matchups to crawl through the 90s and low 100s, the Under stands out. No fireworks expected here—just two tough, postseason-ready squads feeling each other out in a chess match. Feels like a solid B grade play.

New York comes into this one having received a brutal loss in game 3. Boston, meanwhile, need to win game 4 to keep this series from getting blown open, but may be down a key frontcourt piece. The Celtics continue to lean on their top two scorers, but their output against New York this season has only translated to a slim average margin, well below the current 6.5-point spread.

With the Celtics down 2-1 in the series and the Knicks not having to treat this as a must win game, urgency clearly favours the road team. New York’s rotation is getting healthier at the right time, while their defensive versatility matches up well against Boston’s wings. Add in the trend of tight outcomes in this rivalry and this feels like a strong value play. Taking the Knicks to cover earns a solid B grade.
