Pacers vs Knicks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Pacers listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pacers have looked good in their games this season with their 29-24 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the East right now and fighting to keep it. They haven't looked as good in their road games this year with their 12-13 road record, but they will be looking to bounce back from a loss in their last game. The Pacers have also been dealing with a lot of injuries lately but now have everyone back in the lineup healthy. Meanwhile, the Knicks have looked great in their games this season with their 33-19 record overall which has them surging up the East right now with one of the best records in the NBA. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 19-7 home record. They are also coming off a loss in their last game which was at home to the Mavericks and a big reason for that loss was all the missing players in the Knicks starting lineup. The Pacers just went through a stretch where they were banged up with injuries but now they are the healthy team with everyone back in the lineup while the Knicks are the team with key players out now. The Knicks have looked great lately but they are too banged up right now and the Pacers have shown they are a competitive team in the East this year that will be looking to bounce back in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Pacers to cover the spread in this game.
