This total is reachable now that it’s come down to the original total in game 1 and 2 of around 218. With Robinson and Anunoby out for the Knicks, their defense is much weaker, which will allow the Pacers to run and gun again as they run up the score, taking this total over. This game will be played more like games 1 and 2. The Knicks haven’t tired yet nor quit, but they should put their fair share of points up on the board to help this total. Their season average combined total was 244 points. The Knicks are 20-8 to the Over when the total is 210 to 219.5 this season. There is still value in taking the over in this spot. The Pacers are 12-4 to the Over) as a home favorite of 6 points or less this season.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
