The game spread shows New York as a +120 underdog to win by multiple games with the Celtics at -150 to at least force a Game 7. Yet the total games favors under 6.5 at -170.

The Celtics, who were the +200 second-favorites in the NBA championship odds before their Game 2 loss, have now faded to +400. New York improved from +3000 to +1100.

Celtics vs Knicks Remaining Series Schedule

The Knicks will have a chance to close out the series before it ever returns to Beantown. Games 3 and 4 will both bet at MSG this Saturday and Monday, though the Knicks were a middling 27-14 at home in the regular season and then dropped two of three home games to the Pistons in the first round of the playoffs.

The Celtics were an NBA-best 33-8 away from home in the regular season and went 1-1 in Orlando against the Magic in round one.

Game 3 Celtics vs Knicks Odds

Odds as of May 8 at Caesars. Check out SBD’s list of betting sites with Venmo.

The Celtics have opened as 5.5-point road favorites to win Game 3 in Saturday’s NBA odds. On the moneyline, Boston is a -225 favorite to win straight-up and avoid falling in a basically-insurmountable 3-0 hole.

NBA teams are currently 0-157 after falling behind 3-0 in a best-of-seven series.

The game total is sitting at 205.0. The teams combined for just 181 points in Game 2, a 91-90 New York win. They combined for 200 in regulation in Game 1, but the number was pushed half-a-point over the 212.5 total in overtime (108-105 Knicks).
