The Eastern Conference Semifinals see the Indiana Pacers take on the New York Knicks. Indiana took down the Bucks in six games while New York took care of the Sixers in six. Against the Bucks they put up 113 points a game and shot 47.9% from the field and 34.4% from beyond the arc. On the defensive end, they allowed 110.2 points per game. The Knicks put up 108.3 points per game, and they shot 44.1% from the field and 37% from deep. On the defensive end, they gave up 108.2 points per game. The Pacers went 2-1 SU and ATS in three regular-season games against the Knicks. New York played a short rotation against the 76ers and may have to expand it against the Pacers. Both teams played banged-up teams in the first round but Indiana is playing slightly better on both ends of the floor. The Knicks struggled at the line to close out games and that could be important in a close game. I like Indiana to keep this one close and get the cover if not the win.

Play on Indiana. This is a 3% play.
