The NBA playoffs are filled with excitement, particularly due to surprising outcomes like the Knicks leading the series 3-1 against the Celtics, who are without their star player Jayson Tatum due to an Achilles injury. The Celtics have historically started games strong even without Tatum, making them a favorite to perform well in the first quarter of Game 5. The author highlights specific betting suggestions, including wagering on the Celtics to start strong and Payton Pritchard's scoring potential as crucial factors in their performance without Tatum.
"The Knicks are up 3-1, a stunning result after the first four games... This injury might do little to alter the trajectory of the series."
"The Celtics have been the faster starting team in four games so far... Boston can start fast without its star."
"Combine that with the Knicks' poor first-quarter shooting and with the pride Boston should have after that Game 4 loss, and I like the Celtics to start fast."
"Pritchard finished Game 4 with 20 minutes, the fewest he's seen since the end of February. He's got to play more in Game 4 now that Tatum's out of the lineup."
