Choose Wisely – 2-2 or 3-1
Tonight features two pivotal Game 4 matchups that could shape the rest of Round 2. In the East, the Knicks and Celtics battle for a crucial 3–1 lead—or a series-resetting 2–2 split heading back to Boston. Out West, the Curry-less Warriors will try to tie things up at home or head back to Minnesota in a 3–1 hole.

Tonight's Pick 10 (7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT)
Boston @ New York
Boston looked much more like themselves in Game 3, controlling the tempo from start to finish. Something they did not do after blowing consecutive 20 point leads at home. At stake for New York is a commanding 3-1 lead, which would get MSG rocking tonight
As has been the case throughout the playoffs, Jalen Brunson will be the key, tasked with both creating offense and shouldering the scoring load if the Knicks want to head back to TD Garden with a lead.
- Jaylen Brown – Over/Under 22.5 points
- Jayson Tatum – Over/Under 10.5 rebounds
- Jrue Holiday – Over/Under 3.5 assists
- Karl-Anthony Towns – Over/Under 19.5 points
- Jalen Brunson – Over/Under 6.5 assists
- Josh Hart – Over/Under 0.5 blocks
Minnesota @ Golden State
Anthony Edwards broke out in Game 3 with a dominant second-half performance that helped Minnesota seize control of this series—and forced Golden State to wave the white flag.
With Stephen Curry still sidelined by a strained hamstring, the Warriors need to play perfect basketball for 48 minutes. Fatigue set in late in Game 3, and Minnesota’s depth and fresh legs—especially from Rudy Gobert—shut down the paint when it mattered most.
If Golden State wants to survive, they’ll need everyone—from Draymond to Butler to Hield to the bench—to contribute at both ends of the court.
- Julius Randle – Over/Under 20.5 points
- Anthony Edwards – Over/Under 3.5 3-pointers made
- Buddy Hield – Over/Under 13.5 points
- Jimmy Butler – Over/Under 6.5 assists
