The Knicks had previously received nearly no betting interest in this series or all season long, having just received 3.4 percent of the NBA Finals betting handle at BetMGM. Even with the odds favoring them, the Knicks still have to close out the defending champions.

Last year, Boston president Brad Stevens and his front office picked Baylor Scheierman at No. 30 overall and Anton Watson at No. 54 overall. Scheierman showed flashes near the end of his rookie season and could eventually become a rotation player. Watson was waived from his two-way contract and landed with the Knicks.

Losing Game 4 against the New York Knicks was a big blow, but Jayson Tatum's scary injury only makes matters worse for the Boston Celtics.
