The current betting odds have the Pacers listed as a 5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pacers haven't been great in road games this year with an 8-11 road record but they have still been a pretty good team with a 23-18 record overall and a shot at the playoffs if they can keep up this play for the 2nd half of the season. They have been playing really well in their games lately and have been getting hot coming into this one with 2 wins in a row. The Knicks have also been having a decent year with a 22-19 record overall as they manage to stay fighting in this Eastern playoff race too, but they have actually been a worse team at home this season with a losing record there. They have also taken some tough losses lately to some really good teams and this could be a spot where the sneaky Pacers come in to town, where the Knicks haven't been playing well at home anyway, and sneak a win from them here as they have been playing great over the last few weeks. The Pacers have a real chance of pulling off an upset in this game and keeping it really close if they lose. The best way to place a bet here is on the Pacers to cover the spread in this game.

“Forty-one games: doesn’t feel like 41 games, but it is. The next 41 will go by pretty fast, too. We’re getting a lot of clutch experience. We’re not perfect, but we’re gradually getting better, and we’ve got a great crowd that has helped us get over the hump in a lot of these games.” - Rick Carlisle after his team’s win against the Hornets in their game on Sunday.

 

 

“I think we didn’t close the third out well and then the start of the fourth same thing, so that’s probably the biggest thing.” - Tom Thibodeau after his team’s loss against the Bucks in their game on Monday.
