Series Score 3-2 NY Knicks
The Knicks have a chance to seal the series at MSG and progress through to the Eastern Conference Finals against the awaiting Pacers.
The Celts rallied in Game 5, racing away as 25-point victors, with multiple players stepping up in the absence of Jayson Tatum, who will be sidelined indefinitely with an achilles tear.
It’s hard to imagine the Celts bench having the same level of impact on Game 6 on the road.
The Knicks go into heavy foul trouble in Game 5, with Brunson fouling out and KAT walking the tightrope.
I’m backing the home side to make the appropriate adjustments and clinch the series.
Series Score 3-1 Minnesota
Similar to Boston, Golden State face elimination without the services of their best player, but unlike the Celtics, the Warriors offence almost ceases to exist without their main man.
The T-Wolves have the wind in their sails, winning the last three games since the injury to Curry, ofter proving too deep and strong in the last quarter.
I have Minnesota closing out the series at home, putting what’s left of the Dubs away comfortably, combined with 25+ points from Ant Man and 20+ from Randle.
