Celtics -5.5 over Knicks (win)
The Celtics were in control of both game one and two heading into the 4th quarter and blew massive leads. Boston shot around 35% in both games and a dreadful 25% from the three-point line. They only lose again if they shoot that poorly yet again. The Celtics won the regular season series, winning all four games, and will be focused on the road in a do-or-die game. Boston can’t afford to get down 0-3 in the series. I expect sharper shooting and for the three-point shot to go down. Take the Celtics.

Red Sox -120 over Royals (win)
Crochet/Ragans
Last night, both teams were in a snooze-fest that Kansas City took in 12 innings. The good news for the Red Sox is that the Royals are awful against left-handed starters. Garrett Crochet has been sensational this year and should limit the Royals to minimal scoring opportunities. Boston has a good slugging percentage against left-handers and should get back in the winner’s circle after a tough offensive outing last night. Take the Red Sox.
