Derrick White and Jaylen Brown combined for 60 points for the Celtics in the Game 5 victory in Boston. The Knicks pulled off two huge road comebacks to start the series, but went relatively quietly at TD Garden earlier this week. Jalen Brunson was limited to 22 points on 7-of-17 shooting and fouled out in Game 5.

Betting the NBA playoffs requires flexibility and instincts. And the roller-coaster series between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics has tested those qualities.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (-135) are the odds-on favorite to win the 2025 NBA Championship after their Game 5 win against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, while the Indiana Pacers (+650) became the first team to advance to the Conference Finals with a 4-1 series win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
