We lost with the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the series, as while they won the game, they did not cover the spread. Prior to Game 1, I thought the Knicks were a more complete team than the Pacers, but I really like what we saw from the visitors who were in control for most of the game and got hosed by the officials down the stretch.

I think the Pacers have a good chance of winning this one outright, but taking the points makes more sense in what's likely to be another nailbiter.

Knicks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Knicks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. Pacers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog. Pacers are 18-6-2 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up loss.

5* PLAY ON THE PACERS.
