NYK/Ind U185.5
Keep it simple--their first 2 meetings this season stayed well Under the total (157 and 164 combined points). Both teams are among the slowest in the NBA in terms of pace, and Indiana has the league's best defense in terms of pts/possession. The Knicks score a very high % of their points from beyond the arc, and the Pacers own the NBA's best 3-pt defense. Both teams also limit easy transition baskets. Basically, i don't see a ton of easy points being scored in this one, i think it's going to be a playoff-type grinder.
Also lean to OKC tonight...they've blown out Houston in their previous 2 matchups, holding the Rockets to <33% from beyond the arc (16/51), forcing 40 TOs, while Harden has shot 9/33 FGs. The Thunder have been a bit spotty on the road lately, but I see them coming out strong following a couple of disappointing pre-ASB losses.
