Pacers vs Knicks: Betting preview
The Pacers have really found their footing in this series, winning two in a row to level the series. It’s not like they were ever struggling offensively, either. Indiana has put up more than 105 points in each of their 4 games this series and will be looking to stay hot in front of their home crowd.
It should be noted that both of their wins came in games when the Knicks were without OG Anunoby and there’s a chance he misses Game 5 as well. He put up 28 points in game 2, and 13 in game 1 along with 9 boards and 4 assists. His presence was missed on the offensive end and the Pacers took full advantage.
Prop Bet fun
Something else to keep an eye on is how Jalen Brunson fairs Just like the Sixers without Joel Embiid, the Knicks need someone to step up and Brunson just hasn’t done that. After his explosive 43 points in the series-opener, he’s logged sub-30 in every game since, with a series-low 18 on Sunday, shooting a dismal 6-17 from the field. There is reason to believe that the versatile point guard will rebound, and he’s -115 to score 31.5+ on Tuesday evening.
Injuries
As good as the Pacers were last time out, there are some things to be wary of. Tyrese Haliburton (who has put up 89 points across the last 3 games in this series) is questionable due to a few minor knocks, as is Aaron Nesmith. Missing either of those players would put a huge dent in six-seed Indiana’s chances of taking a series lead.
The Knicks have a few injuries of their own, with Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson both out and OG Anunoby dealing with a minor strain. Anunoby, as mentioned earlier, has already missed two games in this series, and a third could be disastrous unless the Knicks can find a way to replace his offensive production in a pinch.
Pacers vs Knicks: Betting pick
This series has been an exciting one to watch unfold and despite the back-and-forth nature, the lone constant has been the abundance of points from both teams. In fact, this total has been covered in 3 of the 4 games played so far, and there’s no reason to expect a drop-off anytime soon.
Betting pick: OVER 216.5 points
