New York Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers
Friday, May 10, 2024 – 07:00 PM ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse
Our AI Model believes the Knicks will lose to the Pacers 113-108. However, with New York currently 7-point underdogs, the Knicks against the spread look to be the play.
NO OG, No Problem
New York has been decimated by injuries. However, just like the New York way, it’s the next-man-up mentality.
It’s likely Jalen Brunson will play. However, OG Anunoby will likely miss the next two games, if not more, with a hamstring injury. That’ll hurt the Knicks defensively, but the Knicks have already outscored the Pacers in two high-offensive games this series.
Quit Complaining!
Indiana is fed up with officiating. While, yes, the refs missed some calls in favor of the Knicks, if the Pacers continue to whine, they’ll be unprepared against the Knicks in Game 3.
Indiana made some questionable personnel decisions late in Game 2 that backfired. We’ll see if they have the guts to make the same mistakes again.
The Pick
The AI Model trusts the Knicks and their NBA odds, even on the road. I’m in agreement, especially if I’m getting 7 points.
