After a high-scoring opening game, the total has jumped way up. It's now too high, the way that I see it. New York road games average 225 points but games at Madison Square Garden average 216.6. Indiana games often seem to fly over the total but not when the Pacers are off an ATS victory. When the Pacers are in that situation, they are 26-21 to the under.

The Knicks are 16-8 to the under in a home game where the total is greater than or equal to 220. In all their games, they are 29-17 to the under, when the total was 220 or more. Let's go Defense!
