NBA New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics Predictions 11/11/16

Knicks vs. Celtics Prediction

Scoring shouldn’t be difficult to come by when the Celtics hosts the Knicks tonight at 7:30PM ET, but will the over cash for bettors?

According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Celtics are 6-point home favorites versus the Knicks, while the over/under currently sits at 216.5 points. Boston opened as a 6-point favorite so that side hasn’t moved off the original number, but the total opened at 216.5 and has been bet down.
