Knicks vs Celtics prediction

The Celtics are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, and they’ve won the last 4 games against the Knicks. However, the Celtics also have nothing to play for with the best record in the NBA locked up. At the time of this writing, the Celtics are listing Porzingis, Brown, Holiday, Tatum and Horford as questionable. Again, with nothing to play for, the Celtics are going to be careful of how they manage their top players. The Knicks are as healthy as they’ve been all year, with Randle the only guy on their injury report. Also, the Knicks are fighting for a top-3 seed in the East. Give me the Knicks and the free bucket, a line that will flip if the Celtics sit some of those previously mentioned names.
