Knicks vs Pacers

The Indiana Pacers return home with a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, having secured two hard-fought victories at Madison Square Garden. Their success has been fuelled by a balanced offensive attack and contributions from both starters and bench players. The New York Knicks, facing adversity due to injuries and a condensed rotation, have struggled to contain Indiana's deeper dynamic offense. Despite strong individual performances, New York's defensive lapses and limited depth have been exploited, particularly in late-game situations. The Pacers' ability to capitalize on these weaknesses, combined with their home-court advantage, positions them favorably for Game 3.

Given the current trajectory of the series, backing Indiana to cover the spread at home appears to be a prudent choice. Their cohesive team play and adaptability have outmatched New York's efforts thus far. While the Knicks have demonstrated resilience throughout the postseason, the Pacers' momentum and strategic advantages suggest they are well-equipped to extend their series lead.
