AMEDEUS' NBA HARDCOURT HAMMER!
(NBA) New York vs. Indiana,
Point Spread: 6.50 | -110.00 New York (Away)
Result: Loss
The Knicks are coming into this game with a 3-2 lead in the series and won their last game at home against the Pacers by 30 points to give them this lead coming into this game. The Knicks ended their last series against the 76ers in 6 games, winning 2 of the 3 road games in this series, and so far they have lost both games on the road in this series. They have still been keeping their games on the road close though as they have lost their last 2 but have actually covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 games on the road. They are going up against a Pacers team that has been much better at home this season and they won their last game there in this series, blowing the Knicks out by 30+ points in that game, but the Knicks are still the better team in this series and they are going to get up for this game with a chance to end this series on the road like they did in Philadelphia. The home team has won every game in this series so far but that trend is due for a change and the Knicks have the talent on their side to end this series in 6 games, or at least keep it very close in a loss. The Pacers have also struggled in these playoffs, they beat the Bucks in 6 games in their last series but they also beat up on a Bucks team that was missing their star player and ended up missing some other key players in those other games, even becoming the first team in NBA history to lose a playoff game against a team that was missing their top 2 scorers. The Pacers have talent but they are not as good as the Knicks and this will be the game that the Knicks get up for with a chance to end the series on the road. The Knicks will cover the spread in this game.
