Boston Celtics (8-3) vs New York Knicks (5-8)
Sunday, January 17, 2021 at 1:00 pm
At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Knicks + the points over Boston. In this Atlantic Division match-up, we'll take Tom Thibodeau's Knicks as a road underdog. After winning 5 of 6 games -- both SU and ATS -- the Knicks have hit the skids, with five straight losses (also both SU and ATS). But in none of those five games were the Knicks installed as an underdog of 6+ points (as they are this afternoon). And New York is 4-1 ATS their last five when getting 6+ points. Moreover, the Knicks fall into one of my favorite NBA systems today. it's cashed 80.9% over the last 31 years, and what we want to do is play on .375 (or better) rested road teams in division games, if they're an underdog of +5 (or more) points, and off five SU/ATS losses. Take New York + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
