Here is the full NBA playoff schedule for Saturday, May 10 (all times Eastern):
- Celtics at Knicks, 3:30 p.m.
- Timberwolves at Warriors, 8:30 p.m.
Knicks +6 (-110)
The New York Knicks head to Boston for Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series, leading 2-0. Despite Boston winning all four regular-season matchups, including a narrow overtime win in April, the Knicks have shown resilience by overcoming 20-point deficits in both series games.
Jalen Brunson has been outstanding, averaging 29.4 points per game in the 2025 playoffs, and will need to lead New York’s offense again. Despite the Celtics’ star power with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, they’ve struggled with their shooting, especially Tatum, who has averaged 18.0 points on 28.6% shooting in the series. The Knicks will look to keep things close and cover the +6 spread. With Boston still trying to find its rhythm, expect another competitive game at Madison Square Garden.
Timberwolves -5.5 (-110)
The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off a dominant 117-93 win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 2, tying the series 1-1. With star Anthony Edwards returning after a brief injury scare, the Timberwolves were able to assert themselves with big performances from Julius Randle (24 points, 11 assists) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (20 points).
Golden State will be without Stephen Curry in Games 3 and 4, creating a significant advantage for the Timberwolves. Without Curry, the Warriors’ lack of a clear offensive leader will play into Minnesota’s hands, especially with the Timberwolves’ typical elite defensive execution. Back Minnesota to cover the -5.5 spread and take control of the series.
Jalen Brunson Over 26.5 Points (-125)
Jalen Brunson has been the primary offensive weapon for the Knicks in the postseason. In the first two games of the series, he’s averaged 23.0 points per game. However, he’s coming off a 17-point performance in Game 2 with no signs of slowing down. He’s been the go-to scorer, and in an important Game 3, he’ll be expected to lead the charge again. Brunson is also averaging 29.4 points per game in the playoffs and has proven capable of stepping up in crucial games.
Julius Randle Over 18.5 Points (-115)
Julius Randle has consistently contributed to the Timberwolves in the playoffs, putting up 22.1 points per game, including a strong 24-point, 11-assist performance in Game 2. His offensive versatility has been a key factor in Minnesota’s success, especially without a strong offensive presence from the Warriors’ side. Randle has averaged 24 points in his last three games and will be crucial in keeping Golden State at bay. Expect him to hit the over on 18.5 points.
