Tuesday's NBA Free Pick ~Knicks @ Celtics (7:35pm et)

[Pick Bot]

Knicks/Celtics Under 197.5 (2 Dime Play)
I believe this game is higher than it really should be and it's mostly due to the Celtics giving up over 100 poitns in their last game and the abilityt he Knicks have to score over 100 and give up over 100, but that Knicks team is gone. No longer are you going to see a high scoring team without Nate Robinson, and some of the other talent the Knicks had. Even when they scored 100+ points against the Thunder it took OT to get there and an amazing 49% shooting from the field from both teams. The Knicks average just 44.3% and are playing one of the top defensive teams in the league and are off a game where they scored only 26 points in the 2nd half of last nights game and that was after the Garden was pumped up after honoring the 1970 Championship team. You would think the Knicks would come with a little more effort.

The Knicks are under the total in 8 of their last 11 games as a road under dog and the Celtics are under in 15 of their last 21 games after scoring 100+ points in previous game. I really look for the Celtics to lay the defensive hammer on the Knicks and if they let McGrady play as he is not in shape for a back to back game it can only look bad for them here tonight. I don't see the Knicks getting into the 90 point range as they just don't have the offense for it on 0 days rest. Also the Celtics are under 6-0 in their last 6 following an ATS loss.
