Pacers vs. Knicks Prediction, Odds & How to Watch – Tuesday, March 17

The New York Knicks (45‑25, third in the East) host the Indiana Pacers (15‑53, last in the East) at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night in a matchup that highlights two teams on opposite ends of the standings.

New York has been steady, winning seven of their last ten, while Indiana has dropped ten straight and continues to spiral toward the lottery. Injuries loom large: the Pacers are dealing with a long list of day‑to‑day players including Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, and Obi Toppin, while the Knicks are monitoring Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride.

Oddsmakers have New York heavily favored at ‑16.5, with the total set at 224. This game is less about playoff positioning and more about whether Indiana can compete against one of the East’s elite teams.

Best Bet for Pacers vs. Knicks

Best Bet: Knicks -16.5 (-110) at BetMGM Sportsbook

New York’s balance and defensive consistency make them the sharper side to back. The Knicks rank seventh in defense, allowing just 111.8 points per game, while Indiana’s offense ranks 28th and has struggled to generate efficient looks.

The Pacers are 0‑10 SU in their last ten games and 1‑12 ATS in their last 13 overall. New York has dominated this matchup recently, winning six straight against Indiana.

While the total of 224 leans toward the under given New York’s defensive profile and Indiana’s offensive struggles, the spread is the sharper angle. Knicks -16.5 is the best bet.

Same‑Game Parlay Picks

3‑Leg SGP (Safer)

Jalen Brunson 20+ points
Pascal Siakam 15+ points
Game total under 224
Combined odds: +425

This safer parlay leans on the stars to hit their averages while banking on the under, which ties in with Indiana’s offensive limitations and New York’s defensive strength.

Longshot SGP

Brunson 30+ points
Siakam 10+ assists
Knicks win by 20+ points
Combined odds: +1200

The longshot parlay hinges on Brunson having a big scoring night, Siakam returning to form, and New York pulling away late. Given Indiana’s recent struggles, this scenario is plausible.
