Friday's Top Pick: Knicks @ Celtics — Free NBA Pick

Today's free NBA pick is on Knicks @ Celtics, and the play is 533 - 7PM ET KNICKS +2.5 at -108 for 1 unit.

Here's the read behind it: On opening day I knew a lot of sharp guys that liked Boston - I personally stayed away from that game because I am not sold on the idea that the Celtics are going to be better without Jaylen Brown. All of the social media jokes about him and Tatum, his left hand, etc. all the memes, kind of overshadow how good Brown was. He was an elite defender and could pick up the slack when Tatum was out or struggling. As Boston figures out their new identity, I love the Knicks to bounce back from an opening night loss and get a win here on the road. NY was excellent on the road last year as dogs, and I think they should be small favorites in this one.

Every free pick is graded in the open the next day and tracked for closing-line value — how our price compares to where the market closes. That's the honest scoreboard, win or lose.
