Indiana Pacers - New York Knicks: betting tip (kef 1.71) and bets on the NBA match

Current form 

The Pacers are going through a frankly difficult stretch of the season. In the last match, the team lost to the Phoenix Suns with a score of 108:123 and thus extended the black streak to 11 defeats in a row. You must admit, this is a serious blow to confidence for any team. The start of the match looked quite encouraging: the hosts tried to stay close and responded to the opponent's attacks. However, the Phoenix Suns gradually began to increase the pressure. By the big break, the visitors had a noticeable advantage — 67:61, and after the third quarter, control of the game finally passed to the Phoenix Suns.

Several accurate long-range shots, including from Devin Booker, actually cleared the question of the winner. In the second half, the Indiana Pacers noticeably sagged in attack. The team started making mistakes more often, the percentage of hits dropped, and the opponent confidently took every opportunity to increase the difference. As a result, another defeat. Andrew Nembard was the most productive member of the home team, scoring 23 points. The Pacers are in last place in the East with a balance of 15 wins and 50 losses. The playoffs, and even more so the play-in, are out of the question — the team is playing more for honor and for the future.

The Knicks, on the other hand, are in a much more cheerful state. In the previous meeting, the New Yorkers managed to score a spectacular victory over the Utah Jazz and thus broke a series of two defeats. However, the beginning of the game was very difficult for New York. Utah had an almost perfect first quarter, making 11 of 13 three-point attempts and going ahead 41:26. It seemed that the owners were completely in control of what was happening. By the big break, their advantage remained — 65:56.

But that's where Nyx's character came in. Tom Thibodeau's team gradually began to seize the initiative, strengthened the defense and found the right rhythm in the attack. At the junction of the third and fourth quarters, the New York Knicks made an impressive 20:4. The highlight was Jalen Brunson's accurate long-range shot 1.6 seconds before the end of the third quarter. The Knicks are in third place in the Eastern Conference with 42 wins and 25 losses.
