Oddsmakers don\u2019t think the Knicks have much of a shot against the Celtics in their second-round series.<\/p>\n
Boston is a -800 favorite at BetMGM, meaning the Knicks will need several advantageous bounces to fall their way to knock off the league\u2019s reigning champions.<\/p>\n
The most likely outcome of the series, according to the bookies, is the Celtics winning in five games, with the gentleman\u2019s sweep having +200 odds.<\/p>\n
A four-game ouster registers with +325 odds.<\/p>\n
Do you think the oddsmakers have it wrong and that the Knicks can upset the Celtics?<\/p>\n
Take a shot with the Knicks at these long-shot odds and have your first bet refunded if the Knicks come up short.<\/p>\n

Knicks vs. Celtics series preview<\/p>\n
The Knicks have plenty of issues on the offensive side of the ball that coach Tom Thibodeau is unwilling \u2014 or unable \u2014 to fix.<\/p>\n
For all that he does well, Jalen Brunson is the leader of the offense but the Knicks don\u2019t run enough of a diversified attack to give the Celtics\u2019 defense a tough time.<\/p>\n
Boston has more than enough perimeter defenders to slow Brunson\u2019s isolation-heavy attack thanks to Jrue Holiday and Derrick White.<\/p>\n
If they were to go to Karl-Anthony Towns to lead their offense, which has a far better chance at success, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford will be waiting.<\/p>\n
To be fair, Towns has the talent to give the Celtics trouble, and the Knicks have a solid enough starting rotation to match Boston\u2019s, but things get really dicey behind the starters.<\/p>\n
New York\u2019s bench simply can\u2019t stack up against Boston\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Expect the Celtics to move on, but don\u2019t bet on it to be as easy as the odds imply. <\/p>\n
The Knicks will probably give their starters enough minutes that they\u2019re able to fend off elimination before it gets embarrassing.<\/p>\n
Back the Knicks against the series spread of +2.5 games, meaning you\u2019d win your wager if this best-of-seven set gets to a Game 6.<\/p>\n
PICK: Knicks +2.5 (-110, BetMGM)<\/p>\n
