Are the Boston Celtics finally getting things figured out? Big question for sports bettors heading into Thursday night’s battle between Boston and the New York Knicks (TNT, 8:05 p.m.).
One of the giveaways through the first third of the season that Boston HADN’T figured things out was that it looked so bad against the Knicks!
— Oct. 20: Boston (-9 1/2) beat New York only 103-101 in the Garden.
— Nov. 21: Boston (-14) lost at home to New York 117-109.
That’s 0-2 against the spread, missing the market by 7 1/2 and 22 points.
