Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/24/25

There are a couple of moving parts in play here. First, the Celtics looked like nothing more than a brand name on Wednesday night when they were upset in Boston by the visiting 76ers. Boston fell by a mere point, but the defeat has led to the market rushing to conclusions that this team is a shadow of it former self with Jayson Tatum on the shelf for the season.

New York, meanwhile, delivered. The Knicks closed as a slight home underdog and won outright against the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knickerbockers were one of the most popular choices on the Wednesday slate and New York nearly won by double digits with a collection of its assets posting double-doubles. New York looks legit as a contender, Boston does not. Add in the fact that New York also has the momentum in recent head-to-head with the playoff series win against the C’s in the 2024-25 season and who wouldn’t want to step in on the Knicks here? But that’s the thing. Boston, for the first time in a while against the Knicks, is undervalued. The academic play here is the points.

Celtics vs. Knicks prediction: Boston Celtics +5.5 (-110), playable at number posted at time of writing. Playable to +5.
