Analysis

3* Rotation #561: NBA Wednesday 3* Indiana Pacers +155 @ New York Knicks @ 8 ET - The Pacers are off a tight loss in Game 1. Indiana certainly had their chances to win that game. Once the failed to win SU, even though they covered ATS, I felt confident in what I would come back with here in Game 2. Indiana is 10-0 SU the last 10 times when off a loss. They have not lost B2B games since the very beginning of March! I certainly respect the Knicks but, eventually, being without Julius Randle is going to catch up with them. Also, they have since lost Bogdanovic and now lost Robinson to injury. They are starting to thin out some in terms of their playing rotation. I expect the Pacers to be relentless here and eventually wear down the Knicks in this one. New York weathered the storm and prevailed (just barely) late in the 4th quarter in Game 1. In Game 2, the Pacers will not fold late plus we won't see (hopefully) any more horrible late game officiating which definitely went against Indiana late in Game 1. I am aware of the fact Haliburton continues to be bothered by back spasms but also McConnell played great off the bench in taking some of his minutes! Even though they lost SU in Game 1, I really liked what I saw from the Pacers and the fact is the Knicks are over-valued right now because of facing a soft and weak Sixers team in round one. New York is facing a much tougher test now and Game 2 will go to the Pacers as they will not be denied after that tough, tight Game 1 loss. We do not need even need the points. The Pacers improve to 11-0 SU last 11 times when coming off a loss! 3* INDIANA +155
