NBA lines for Knicks vs Celtics odds have New York as slight 1-point favorites on the road against Boston with the over/under total set at 188 for the game that can be seen live on TNT. The Knicks will take the floor in Massachusetts after letting one slip away in a 85-88 loss to Brooklyn despite a 29-point, 3-rebound and 7-assist performance from Carmelo Anthony.

Anthony had a horrible fourth quarter missing all six shots and finishing the night shooting a poor 11 of 29 from the floor while J.R. Smith added 16-points in the loss to the Nets. The Knicks failed to cover the spread as 3-point favorites at home to go 25-14 SU and 21-18 against the spread for the season. Boston however will be looking to end a four game losing streak after losing 90-95 at the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Rajon Rondo led Boston with just 17-points, 13-rebounds and 8-assists while Kevin Garnett added 16-points and Paul Pierce chipped in 12-points.
