The Pacers have been on a hot streak, winning six of their last seven games. Their only loss came by three points to the 76ers in Philadelphia. They played the Knicks in Indiana a few weeks ago, losing by three points. They are 11-8 against the spread on the road this season, while the Knicks are 8-12-1 against the spread at home. Although the Knicks may win this game, look for the Pacers to at least keep it close enough to cover.

Wow, I went to bed last night expecting a 3-0 NBA night with Cleveland (moneyline) up 5 at Utah with about 1:30 left and a total of 104 points scored in Suns-Warriors at the half (had under 229.5). So, yeah, shocked when I woke up and saw both lost, the Cavs because Caris LeVert turned into a moron, and I can't even explain what happened with Phoenix not only winning at the Dubs but scoring 125 points with a JV roster. Can't say I love a lot on tonight's slate but that may change with injuries later. The Knicks come off a tough home loss to the Bucks but likely will get RJ Barrett back tonight. The Pacers are tough to beat in Indy but 8-11 on the road and might be without two rotation guys in Aaron Nesmith and TJ McConnell.
