Game summary

Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks comes around in the NBA regular season on Friday 23 October 2026, with the pick falling on a Boston Celtics win and a total that should stay low.

Why this pick?

Our model makes the Boston Celtics the pick, and the small edges it finds all point the same way: home court, a slightly better rating than the New York Knicks, and two days of rest on each side. The plain argument against is that Boston are 0‑1 after conceding 121 at the Detroit Pistons and are without Devin Carter, listed as Out. Even so, the case for the pick is clearly heavier than that single worry: the ratings put Boston fourth of 30 and New York sixth, while the Knicks sit 13th in the East after a home loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The call is a moderate one.

Total points: Both teams play slower than a typical NBA game — Boston sit 28th of 30 for pace, New York 21st — and their games produce fewer points per possession, so our model puts the total below the league average.
