Boston, on the second night of a back-to-back, takes on a Knicks team - in New York - that is 14-5 at home. The Celtics lost a brutal game last night to a Miami Heat team that didn't have Dragic, Whiteside, James Johnson, or Justise Winslow. Not great.
Still, this Celtics team has shown an ability to bounce back after losses and I think they'll be hungry tonight. Tatum dislocated his finger against the Heat but should be good to go tonight and he's still shooting a blistering 51/50/84 this season (leading the NBA in 3pt FG %). Boston hasn't lost back-to-back games since the first 2 contests of the year (we'll chalk that up to PTSD from the Hayward leg-snap) and I like Brad's ability to refocus them against the Knicks.
Celtics -3.5.
