NY Knicks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Pacers should be favored at home where they have 33 wins and they’ve been the better team in this series. However, the Pacers blew a 20-point lead in game 3, giving the Knicks new life. The Knicks played their best game of the series their last time out, and they’re now 6-1 SU on the road in these playoffs. The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven games between the Knicks and Pacers. I liked the Pacers entering this series, but that game 3 loss rubbed me the wrong way. It’s not easy to win a series when you throw games away. We’re also going to see a Brunson explosion at some point. We had the KAT game already. I’ll grab the bucket with the Knicks.
