The series shifts back to Madison Square Garden, as the Knicks have a chance to finish off the defending champion Boston Celtics.
Game 4 wasn’t particularly close, but with the Knicks playing on their home floor, and desperately needing to avoid a Game 7, Jalen Brunson should have a shot to close this one out late as he’s already done three times this series.

Knicks vs. Celtics Game 6 betting preview
Thanks to Brunson’s heroics, the Knicks dominated fourth quarters through the first four games, outscoring the Celtics in each of them.
Boston didn’t need to perform in clutch time Wednesday night, but if the Celtics going to pull off a series upset in New York they’re likely going to need to.
And they’ll have to do it without their superstar, Jayson Tatum, who tore his Achilles near the end of Game 4.
If and when things get tight, I don’t like this Tatum-less Celtics offense’s chances of keeping it together.
Betting on the NBA?
I’m betting we’re in for another Brunson fourth-quarter masterclass en route to the Eastern Conference finals for the Knicks.
The play: Knicks to win fourth quarter (-115, bet365 Sportsbook)
