Boston vs New York: Prediction and Odds on the Match on 13 May 2025

The moment of truth has arrived for Boston in the series with New York. If they lost the third game after the fourth one, it would pretty much make it impossible for Boston to reach the conference finals. Will the Celtics manage to avoid a misfire? Check out our free prediction for this game. Let's take a look at the bookies' odds, the main statistical trends, and pick out a few betting options.

NY Knick

The Knicks managed to win back a 20-point handicap twice in this series – in the first and second games. So, New York's success hasn't come from having the best players, but from Tom Thibodeau's clever coaching choices.

New York played well in Game 3, but the Celtics finally found their groove from downtown. The Knicks couldn't stop the three-point barrage, with the final score being 93–115. Jalen Brunson was the most productive for the Knicks, scoring 27 points. Karl-Anthony Towns got 21 points and 15 rebounds.

Boston

The Celtics are in trouble after two games against New York. Once again, Boston was ahead by as many as 20 points in both games, but lost both times.

But the best moment of the third game was when Boston got 20 out of 40 three-pointers in. Peyton Pritchard and Jayson Tatum each hit five from way downtown, while Derrick White and Al Horford each made three accurate long-range shots.

Boston vs New York Match Prediction 13 May, 2025

We'd say it's pretty unlikely that Boston will hit 50% of their shots from distance again, so it might be worth thinking about betting on the total less in the next game. And actually, in the whole series, all the matches were tied after regular time. We also bet on Boston. The Celtics are clearly better than the Knicks, so it's unlikely they'll let the other team win with a score of 1-3.
