Can These Bold Bets Spark Game 3 Turnarounds in Celtics-Knicks and Timberwolves-Warriors Showdowns?
Look, I get the argument for Boston covering -6 in Game 3. The Celtics were -900 favorites to win this series, hammered the Knicks in all four regular-season meetings, and are the reigning NBA Champions. Boston blew two 20-point leads in its one-and-three-point Game 1 and 2 losses and built those leads despite Tatum playing poorly. Yet, I’m a fan, and I’m taking the points at The Garden.ÂÂ

Minnesota crushed Golden State 117-93 without Steph Curry Thursday in Game 2 to even the series. The Dubs are much easier to defend without chasing Curry around screens all night. Curry had a +7.3 on/off net rating during the regular season and has a +15.2 on/off net rating in these playoffs, per CleaningTheGlass.com. Meanwhile, the T-Wolves have two guys to throw at Jimmy Butler III: Anthony Edwards and wing Jaden McDaniels.
