Unbelievable NBA Playoff Predictions: Which Game 2 Upsets Could Shake the Knicks-Celtics and Nuggets-Thunder Series?
Also, the officiating crew for Knicks-Celtics Game 2 has a combined 82-67 Over/Under this season, and all three referees have officiated more Overs. Boston employed a “Hack a Mitchell Robinson” strategy because the Knicks center is 7 for 25 (28.0%) from the foul line in these playoffs. That helps our Over in two ways.Â
First, that gets NYK into the bonus, and All-Star PG Jalen Brunson is one of the best players in the NBA at getting to the charity stripe. Second, it forces Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau to take Robinson, one of the best defensive bigs in basketball, out of the game. Ultimately, Boston will have a bounce-back shooting night in Game 2 and New York will run-and-gun to keep up.Â
