NBA Playoff Bets: Celtics vs Knicks SGG for Friday, May 16

With just one game on the slate β€” Celtics vs Knicks Game 6 β€” we treated this edition of Props, Locks & Drops like a high-value same game parlay. We dug into usage shifts, rebounding matchups, and scoring volatility to isolate value despite the limited board.

Using our proven 3-step model β€” data-driven research πŸ“Š, trends analysis πŸ“ˆ, and AI insights πŸ€– β€” we’ve locked in the top plays for tonight’s action.

Let’s break down our picks using our exclusive system: πŸ‘ Props (bets we like), πŸ”’ Locks (our favorites), and πŸ’§ Drops (leans we don’t love but don’t hate).

Karl-Anthony Towns Over 11.5 Rebounds πŸ”’ β€” Towns dominated the glass with 12 boards and proved once again he’s the most reliable rebounder in this series.

Knicks -2.5 Spread πŸ‘ β€” New York protected home court in a win-or-else spot, controlling most of the game and rewarding sharp action on the short spread.

Derrick White Over 20.5 Points πŸ’§ β€” Despite big minutes, White never found his scoring rhythm and fell well short of expectations.

Celtics vs Knicks Under 211.5 Total Points πŸ’§ β€” The under looked good early but a strong second half and late-game fouling pushed the total over.

πŸ“‰ Final Thoughts/Trend Analysis

Karl-Anthony Towns continues to be the most bankable rebound prop in the playoffs. He’s hit his number consistently, and when the Wolves dominate the boards, they control the game. The Knicks spread was the most aligned team-side bet across sources β€” and it delivered exactly as expected.

On the flip side, Derrick White overs fell flat, despite being pushed hard by the market. His usage didn’t translate to volume or efficiency. The total ending over also reinforced how volatile these one-game playoff slates can be β€” and why every piece in a same game parlay needs to be tightly correlated.

Let’s stay hot as we move toward the next round!
