Overview

The Boston Celtics will go head-to-head with the New York Knicks in Game 6 of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, as they aim to prolong their season after a spectacular 127-102 win in Game 5 despite the injury to their star player, Jayson Tatum.

Key Player Insights:

• Derrick White stepped up impressively in Game 5, scoring 34 points, showcasing the depth of the Celtics lineup.
• Jaylen Brown also had a noteworthy performance with 26 points and 12 assists.

In the backdrop of this intensity, several prop bets have garnered attention:

Betting Props

Jrue Holiday Over 10.5 points (-128)

Holiday seized the opportunity with Tatum missing from the roster, proving essential on the offensive front. He scored 14 points in his last outing and with increased responsibility, he’s expected to maintain this trend.

“We are getting a good buy-low price because Holiday has been ultra-focused on defending Brunson, but he still managed 14 big points in Game 5…” - Stephen Oh, Data Scientist

Jalen Brunson Under 30.5 points (-120)

The Knicks’ leader has yet to surpass the 30-point mark this series and the projections suggest he won’t reach it again in Game 6.

Luke Kornet Under 6.5 rebounds (+110)

A surprising contributor in Game 5, Kornet’s projected numbers suggest a regression in his output against the Celtics’ more intense lineup.

This matchup promises engaging player performances and strategic betting opportunities.
