This game is of no interest for the teams, as we are heading for the end of the regular season. I believe that this total of points is very good, as the teams are not playing hard and they are just trying to have some rest for the playoffs.

Boston is coming from a 99-89 win at Atlanta in a game that Atlanta was interested in winning it, but yet they managed to score only 89 points. Boston is having 100.5 points at offense and they are allowing 90.2 points. Moreover, they are 100.8 in offensive end and 93.2 at defense at their last 5 games. When they are favorites by less than 10 points they are averaging 101.4 points offensively and 92.0 points defensively. Finally, when they are playing against teams from the East they are scoring 99.4 points and they are allowing 88.8 points and they are 9-2 under/over at their last 11 against teams from the East and 14-4 at their last 18 Monday games.

New York is coming from a loss at home against Atlanta by 104-116. They are averaging 96.6 points at offense and 103.2 points at defense while they are 104.2 and 105.0 at their last 5 games. These games, though, were against teams which are not strong in defense, except from the game at Detroit, where the score was 98-94. Furthermore, New York is 97.9 at offense and 103 at defense when they are underdogs by 10 points or less. Finally, they are 96.1 points offensively and they are allowing 101 points when they play against teams from the East.

I do not believe that neither Boston nor New York will score many points tonight, as we are almost at the end of the regular season. I think that it will be a slow tempo game, where Boston's reserve will get time to play.
