Knicks vs Pacers betting preview
Up 3-1, the Pacers put up 130 in Game 4. Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton got off to a hot start, and that continued throughout the game as he finished with 32 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds. The Pacers scored 43 points in the first quarter, which allowed them to maintain momentum throughout the game.
At halftime, they led 69-64. In addition to Haliburton, four other players had double-digit points. Bennedict Mathurin had 20, Myles Turner added 13, Aaron Nesmith contributed 16, and Pascal Siakam was second on the team with 30. As a unit, the Pacers shot 51.1% from the floor, including going 13 of 32 (40.6%) from beyond the arc.
They also outscored the Knicks in the paint, 50-44.
After going down 43-35 in the first quarter, the Knicks could never really get back in the game, but they didn’t play poorly by any means. They shot 46.3% from the floor, 42.9% from beyond the arc, and had more rebounds than the Pacers.
Where they fell short, though, was turnovers. They had 17, while the Pacers had 11. The Pacers also did a great job of moving the ball around with 29 assists. Jalen Brunson had 31 points.
Karl-Anthony Towns (24), OG Anunoby (22), Mikal Bridges (17), and Josh Hart (12) also contributed double-digit points.
Knicks vs Pacers odds
Below are the odds for this matchup, courtesy of bet365 sportsbook.
Spread: Indiana Pacers (+5, -110); New York Knicks (-5, -110). Moneyline: Indiana Pacers (+170); New York Knicks (-205). Total: Over 225.5 (-110); Under 225.5 (-110)Knicks vs Pacers analysis
In Game 5, we’re headed back to New York, where the Pacers won both games. In fact, before Game 4, the road team won each game in this matchup.
In Game 1 in New York, the Pacers had arguably the luckiest shot I’ve ever seen go in, forced overtime, and won 13-135. In Game 2, they won 114-109.
Throughout this series, the Knicks defense has struggled to hold the Pacers down. Over the last three games, the Pacers are averaging 114.7 points and 100.9 possessions per game. This doesn’t include the Game 1 stats, where they put up 138 points.
At home, the Knicks have shot 88 of 178 (49.4%) from the floor, but their 3-point shooting percentage isn’t quite up to snuff at 22 of 66 (33.3%).
Knicks vs Pacers picks
The Knicks are favored for a reason, which certainly gives me some pause, but I’ll take the Pacers +5. Either way, I think they cover or win outright and end the series.
The Knicks were 22-20-1 as home underdogs, whereas the Pacers were 18-10 as road underdogs during the regular season.
Again, the Pacers have won both games in New York.
While they may be playing with their backs against the wall, the defense hasn’t been all too successful in holding the Pacers’ offense down.
Pick Pacers +5 (-110) at bet365
