KNICKS @ CELTICS GAME 2

Obviously, we expect the Celtics 3PT shooting to bounce back. They're not gonna shoot 25% from 3 again.

But remember... since February 28th, when the Knicks got Mitchell Robinson back from injury, they've been the best 3PT defense in the NBA. So if the Celtics are going to take 60 3PT attempts in every game... the Knicks truly are live in this series.

We should also see some 3PT regression on the New York side. I very seriously doubt the Knicks are gonna shoot 46% from 3 again.

So I know it seems like all the regression is on Boston's side... but I gotta say I think New York can do a much better job on the glass in game 2. Celtics absolutely dominated the rebounding battle. So here's an area of the game I think can swing back towards the Knicks.
