Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The 'Under 253.5' bet for the match between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks is a sound choice based on the teams' recent scoring trends. Over their last five games, the Celtics' average score is 112.2 points, and the Knicks' is 125.4 points. Even in their best-case scenarios, with the Celtics scoring an average of 119.4 points at home and the Knicks scoring 119.8 points away, the combined total falls short of the 253.5 threshold. Moreover, both teams have successfully kept their opponents' scores low in recent games, with an average of 103.2 points for the Celtics and 119.2 for the Knicks. Considering these statistics, the likelihood of the total score exceeding 253.5 points seems low, making the 'Under' bet a logical choice.
