The Boston Celtics head home after a losing road trip in search of a win against the divisional rival New York Knicks. Check out our Knicks-Celtics NBA picks based on the best NBA odds.
After a three-game road trip that ended in a pair of losses, the Celtics are back at home to face the rival Knicks on Thursday. Boston will still be without guard Marcus Smart after Smart injured his ankle last Saturday. Other than the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year, this is the healthiest the Celtics have been i n over a week.
The Knicks snapped a four-game skid with a two-point victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, and the team will look to build on that win Thursday. New York is missing big man Mitchell Robinson, but like Boston, this is a relatively healthy roster.
