Game 5, Knicks leading 3-1, AND Jayson Tatum is out! Here’s the revised preview.

Point Spread: Celtics -4.5 Total: 208.5

Storyline Changes:

• Knicks on the Brink: The Knicks are on the verge of closing out the series and pulling off a massive upset against one of the NBA’s top teams.
• Celtics’ Desperation: Without Tatum, the Celtics are in a dire situation. They are facing elimination on their home court and need other players to step up and fill the void.
• Momentum Shift: Momentum has favored the Knicks lately, it is imperative that the C’s take advantage of not just home-court advantage, but capitalize on what happened.

Predictions:

Everything now points to this is in the Knicks’s hands. I am now going to recommend that The Knicks win, so plus the +4.5. and go with the **Under to come away at the end**.
