Knicks at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 116, Pacers 113

Moneyline

BET KNICKS (-110).

The Knicks are wildly better on the road than they are at home, a rarity in the NBA. They are 9-6 on the road and 7-7 at home.

The Pacers are 6-9 on the road and 9-6 at home. However, they are just 1-2 ATS in their last 3 home games, and with the spread at this amount, there’s little difference between that and the moneyline.

New York is playing well right now, winning 6 straight. It ranks top 15 in both offensive efficiency (14th) and defensive efficiency (8th). The Pacers do not sit top 15 in either category.

Given how they’re playing and their success on the road, back the KNICKS (-110).

Against the spread

BET KNICKS +1.5 (+100).

If  you like the Knicks to win straight up, then you have to like them even more with the points at even money.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 231.5 (-110).

This total is high due to the Pacers 5th-best pace. However, the Knicks are 1-7 O/U in their last 8 games.

Both teams have been better at covering the Under this season as well with the Pacers 14-15-1 O/U and the Knicks 13-16 O/U. The Pacers are 3-4-1 O/U over their last 8 as well.

With the 24th-best field goal percentage, the Pacers score so frequently due to their pace, and with the Knicks 15th in pace, they may slow things down. Considering the season-long trends, back the UNDER 231.5 (-110).
