Pacers vs Knicks

The Knicks come into this matchup with momentum, having consistently found ways to generate offense and close out games during their playoff run. The Pacers, on the other hand, are working through some recent struggles and could come up shorthanded tonight, however it is fair to say in the playoffs everyone is dealing with some wear and tear, and are just playing through it for the most part. New York’s defence has a history of giving Indiana’s lead guard a tough time, and the team’s frontcourt has been active on the glass, helping secure crucial possessions during their late-season push.

With the Pacers battling through this rough patch, it feels like the Knicks are set up to keep their run alive. Even with some roster challenges, the team’s home-court edge and balanced play suggest another win is within reach. If you’re eyeing the betting line, sticking with the Knicks looks like a solid call given their current form and Indiana’s issues.

Both the Pacers and Knicks enter this matchup with recent wins, each pushing harder as the playoffs drag on. With important frontcourt contributors performing for New York and Indiana navigating some lingering health concerns of their own, both teams are expected to emphasize offense. Recent meetings between these squads have consistently produced high scores, and both sides have established themselves as capable of fast-paced, perimeter-oriented play.

Given the strengths on the wing for New York and Indiana’s ability to create extra possessions in transition, this matchup looks primed for another up-tempo, high-scoring contest. The total set at 224 appears reachable based on recent trends, and backing the over presents strong value—earning this pick an A- grade for confidence.

The Pacers arrive for this crucial matchup riding a wave of recent success only needing five games to turn away their opponents in the first two rounds, while the Knicks are working through a higher work load to get to the Eastern Conference Final, needing six games to turn away their opponents in the first two rounds. With scoring depth not looking great for New York, the team has struggled to find the same scoring consistency, dropping games they should have been winning, and falling short of their usual production. Indiana, meanwhile, has leaned on its balanced rotation to maintain both offensive and defensive efficiency, outpacing opponents by a comfortable margin during their current streak.

Given the Pacers' strong form and depth, as well as their ability to contain the Knicks’ usual advantages in the paint, grabbing the extra 4.5 points offers solid value. This matchup looks like a spot where the Pacers’ momentum and healthier lineup make them the preferable side, especially with the playoff race heating up.
