1.87Tip and bets
The bookmakers are betting on New York again, and their logic is clear: Madison Square Garden, where the fans are like the 12th player, and an enraged Brunson and Towns after losing in overtime are the Knicks' trump cards. Going to Indianapolis with a score of 0-2 is like a verdict for them, and Thibodeau will definitely squeeze everything out of the team. He has already analyzed Haliburton's game by frame and will set up a defense to strangle the Pacers' leader. But Indiana is not just an upstart. Haliburton and Nesmith have shown that their attack can blow up any defense, and Siakam and Turner add power. The Knicks will play hardball, with an emphasis on defense and dominance under the ring through Towns and Hart. The Pacers will respond with speed and three-pointers. We are waiting for New York to use domestic energy to take revenge and even the series.
Our betting tip is for New York to win with a head start (-4.5) points, including overtime in 1.71
Bet on the total
Knicks and Pacers matches are like basketball fireworks. The last three games have been hitting the 230-point mark, and the first meeting of the series has generally dropped to 273. The second match will continue this tradition. New York will drive to the attack to recoup, and Indiana will respond with its high-speed game. Both teams love attacking basketball, and there's too much at stake to sit on the defensive. We are waiting for the show where the glasses will flow like a river.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 227.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
The bet on the player
Haliburton is a basketball wizard in the playoffs, leading the league in assists with an average of 9.5 assists. In the series with Cleveland, he slowed down a little, but against the Knicks he lit up again, giving 11 assists in the first match. The Olympic champion of Paris 2024 in the United States will lead the Pacers' attack, handing out passes like candy.
Our betting tip is a total more than Haliburton (10.5) assists in 1.97
