Prediction
Pacers 106, Knicks 98
Moneyline (ML)
The Pacers have won seven of their last 10 games and are 5-6 on the road this season. The Knicks are 3-9 at home. Back INDIANA (-250) as a solid road favorite even with New York firing its coach David Fizdale yesterday.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Indiana to win outright would profit $4.00.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The Pacers are ninth against the spread on the road with a mark of 6-5 and come in three points per game above the cover line. New York is 5-7 ATS at home and comes in 5.6 points per game below the cover line (23rd).
Slightly lean toward INDIANA (-6.5, -110) to win by seven or more points Saturday. It delivers a $9.09 profit on a $10 bet.
Over/Under (O/U)
The projected total is set at 207.5 (Over: -110, Under: -110). Indiana averages 109.5 points per game and New York allows 111.3 per contest. The Pacers rank 23rd at 98.9 possessions per game and the Knicks are 27th at 98.1. With a new Knicks coach, there is too much uncertainty here. PASS on the O/U.
