The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers have won a game apiece in the 2024-25 season series, and they’ll face off for the rubber match at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on February 11.
My Knicks vs Pacers predictions and NBA picks call for a high-scoring game in Indianapolis tonight.
Knicks vs Pacers prediction
My best bet
Over 239.5 (-110 at bet365)
My analysis
Across their last 10, each team has hit the Over six times.
The New York Knicks have done it in four straight, and the Indiana Pacers have hit the Over in back-to-back games. The Pacers are 14-8 to the Over at home, and the Knicks are 14-9-1 to the Over on the road. The teams have a combined record of 58-43-2 to the Over this season, and they surpassed the total in one of their last two matchups.
Both sides have played phenomenally on offense, with each possessing multiple scoring weapons. The Knicks rank second in offensive rating at 119.6, and the Pacers rank 10th at 114.3. New York has played at a relatively slow pace throughout the season, but the Pacers rank sixth in that department and offer a pace-up spot for a strong Knicks unit.
To help the cause, both teams have been below average defensively this season. The Knicks rank 17th in defensive rating and the Pacers rank 19th. In a contest between two equally matched teams with strong offenses and below-average defenses, I’m taking the Over to hit.
Knicks vs Pacers same-game parlay
Over 239.5
Pacers moneyline
Bennedict Mathurin Over 14.5 points
The Indiana Pacers are 19-7 straight up over their last 26, and I expect another win from them here. The Pacers are one of only three teams with at least a .500 SU record as the underdog, and Indiana is the only team above .500 at 11-10.
With such a small spread, the most profitable wager is the Pacers ML rather than betting them to win by a single basket.
Bennedict Mathurin is averaging a career-high 16.3 points per game, and I like him to hit the Over on this modestly-priced scoring line tonight in what should be a high-scoring affair.
Mathurin has hit the Over on this line in 29 of 49 games, including 12 of 21 at home. The Knicks have allowed the fifth-most points to small forwards at 22.5, and Mathurin went off for 20 and a career-high 38 against New York already.
