The Indiana Pacers will welcome the New York Knicks in what we can call an expected lopsided game on Friday. The Pacers, who had an excellent campaign last season, are almost out of the playoffs race, with a poor 15-50 win-loss record. On the other hand, the Knicks have once again managed to make it to the top teams this season as well. They are seeded third in the conference and will enter the matchup off a 42-25 win-loss record.
The Knicks are heavy 13.5-point favorites with moneyline at -950 and a total around 227.5 points. These NBA odds tonight suggest that the Knicks are highly-likely to dominate the Pacers. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay and a few player props for tonight’s game.
This is how we are betting for the Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks tonight.
Best Bet: New York Knicks -13.5 (-114)
Book: Best Price at FanDuel
Our best bet for Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks is Knicks -13.5 (-114) against the spread.
The New York Knicks have got a favorable 18-16 win-loss record on the road, and have won six of their last ten games. They own the third-best offensive rating in the league and the eighth-best defensive rating. On the other hand, the Pacers are coming off a ten-game losing skid, and are seeded at the bottom of the conference standings.
Talking about their on-court stats, the NBA 2024-25 finalists have the worst offensive rating and the sixth-worst defensive rating.
The spread at Knicks -13.5 fits the visitors well considering their elite on-court stats, and the Pacers’ woeful run. New York covers well in such spots.
Keeping their elite offense and defense in mind as well as the Pacers’ embarrassing campaign, we are laying the Knicks -13.5 (-114) as our Best Bet, and expect them to cover the number tonight.
3-Leg SGP (Safer)
Combined odds: +788
We have built this same-game parlay around the Knicks to record a massive win over the Pacers. Jalen Brunson is leading the offensive charge for the Knicks, while Towns has been a key player for the Madison Square Garden-based team. They would aim to exploit the Pacers’ weaker form and use them to their own advantage.
These legs are correlated considering if the Knicks take control of the game, their players will get more scoring opportunities. This way their players will finish with a high score. Thus, it is our safer SGP option.
