NBA New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics same game parlay picks: Knicks come up with a big win in Boston at +778 odds

In what will already be their 2nd encounter of the season, it’s the New York Knicks taking on the Boston Celtics tonight at TD Garden. Boston won the previous meeting by just 4 points, so we could be in for another exciting match-up here. Tip-off is at 7.30 pm ET on NBA TV, I’ve prepared a Same Game Parlay which is available below.

I’d also encourage you to head over to our NBA Predictions page for picks on the side and total for Monday’s 4-Game slate.

Let’s dive into my SGP bet now!

NY Knicks ML (+315)

Julius Randle Over 18.5 Points (-128)

Kristaps Porzingis 2+ Made Threes (-270)

Same Game Parlay odds: +778

NY Knicks ML (+315)

The good thing about the Knicks is you can always count on their defense. They own the 2nd best defensive rating in the league and have been one of the more consistent teams on that end ever since hiring Tom Thibodeau. Boston is on a 2-Game win streak coming into this one, winning both of those Games by double-digits vs Brooklyn and Toronto. However, over their last 4 they’re just 2-2 SU and we’ve seen them have their issues against teams like Minnesota and Philadelphia.

The Knicks have been a tough nut to crack for them. In the last 7 meetings at TD Garden, the Celtics have covered the spread just twice. The first meeting of the season was won by the Celtics 108-104, but the Game was pretty much in the balance with 90 seconds left in the 4th quarter. I think it’s time someone finally takes down the Celtics in their own arena, back the Knicks on the Money Line.

Julius Randle Over 18.5 Points (-128)

I’m encouraged by the recent play of Julius Randle, he has now scored 20+ points in 3 games in a row, while also improving on his efficiency from the floor. He always seems to do well against the Celtics for some reason – in the past 5 meetings he’s averaging 26.8 points and 9 rebounds per game, while making an average of 3.8 threes per game. Aside from Al Horford, the Celtics don’t really have a typical big man down low, so he will be able to bully his way on the inside, especially if Porzingis is the one trying to defend him. For his career, Randle is averaging 20.6 points per game in head-to-head meetings vs the Latvian, so I’m confident he can get to that number in tonight’s game.

Monday’s NBA Mega Parlay has +1266 odds

Kristaps Porzingis 2+ Made Threes (-270)

It was a fairytale ending to KP’s homecoming at MSG in the first game of the season as he torched his former squad for 30 points, including 5 threes made. That was the 2nd game in a row vs New York in which he has scored 5 threes, in the last 5 meetings he’s averaging an impressive 4 threes per game while making 50% of his attempts. He has cleared this line in all 5 of those games and has been in a good groove lately doing so in 3 of his last 4 games overall. The way the Knicks defend suits him really well as they like to clog up the paint, only 4 teams in the NBA allow less points in the paint against them. Defending the three-point line has been a problem in road games. New York ranks in middle of the pack allowing teams to shoot 35.9% against them from three-point territory. I think it’s safe to say we’ll see Porzingis hanging outside of the three-point line quite a lot in this one.

Faгmeг Discoveгs A Mᴀssive Hoaгd Of Moгe Than 4,000 Ancient Roman Coins In Switzeгland

An extensive Roman coin collection has been found in a Swiss orchard, one of the most significant archeological discoveries. In Ueken, a tiny village in northwestern Switzerland, a farmer discovered the ancient coins several months ago. He excavated them by accident while inspecting his cherry trees. He then contacted local archaeological experts, who confirmed the presence of a collection of more than 4,000 bronze and silver Roman coins. Large troves of Roman coins are often found in Britain. A collection of nearly 60,000 rusted coins known as the Frome Hoard was found in a field in Somerset in 2009. This Swiss collection is also one of the largest ever found outside the UK, making it very special. The find also comes at a time of increased focus on Rome and Roman History worldwide, as evidenced by the unearthing of an intact tomb at Pompeii’s archaeological site in October. Archaeologists explain that Roman coins are typically found buried in large quanтιт...

Brave bird attacks a snake twice it’s size whilst trying to stay away from the snake’s highly venomous fangs. Will the risk be worth it for the bird or not? Brave bird attacks a snake twice its size whilst trying to stay away from the snake’s highly venomous fangs. Will the risk be worth it for the bird or not? Field guide  Pieter van Wyk  at  MalaMala   Game Reserve was able to record the battle and shared it with LatestSightings.com “It was a sunny day, and I was taking a group of tourists out on a morning drive when I spotted the commotion. It had not even been 10 seconds into our drive. We had barely left the vicinity of the camp.” “At first, I thought it was a snake attacking a bird of some sort, but as I got closer, I realized that the bird was actually attacking the snake. The bushshrike, with its distinctive grey, yellow, and green plumage, was diving down and pecking at the boomslang, a venomous tree snake known for its bright green colour.” Do yo...
