NBA: Celtics -9.5 (7:00 PM EST)

Game 1 of this Eastern Conference semifinal shocked the public, as the Knicks stormed back to upset Boston in OT — despite trailing by 20 in the second half.

That sets up a classic Zig-Zag Theory spot in Game 2, where teams that lose as home favorites of 7+ points in Game 1 are 30-5 straight up and cover nearly 64% of the time in the follow-up.

Boston shot just 35% from the field in the opener, going ice-cold from deep (15-for-60 from three), yet still had a double-digit lead and forced OT. OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges were elite defensively, and Brunson hit difficult, late-clock shots — but it took a near-perfect storm for the Knicks to win.

Game 2 should feature sharper execution from a desperate Celtics team looking to avoid heading to MSG down 0-2.
