Get Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks predictions, picks, and odds for Game 2 on 5-8, plus NBA Playoffs best bets and same-game parlay analysis.
With Jalen Brunson serving as the Knicks' focal point when needing buckets late in a game. Our betting picks look at Brunson's scoring prowess when handicapping Game 2, and seeing how his other markets might be affected.The New York Knicks escaped with Game 1 on Monday night, slipping past the Indiana Pacers in the closing minutes thanks to a fourth-quarter comeback led by Jalen Brunson’s 21 points in the final frame.
What the Knicks did not exceed was the usual 3-point frequency rate against Indiana. Since the All-Star Break, opponents took just 33.1% of their field goals from deep against the Pacers, the lowest rate in the NBA. New York came in at 28% on Monday. Some books have raised this prop to 8.5 assists with heavy juice on the Under. That is a safe bet, but the value is in the plus-money at Under 7.5.Brunson went 1-of-4 from beyond the arc in Game 1. Making only one three is worrisome, but attempting only four after averaging 7.3 attempts per game following the All-Star Break is more notable.
Yet, New York is a 5-point favorite and the atmosphere in Madison Square Garden should assure a 2-0 lead in this series.After New York won Game 1, this spread opened with the Knicks favored by 5.5 late on Monday, a number that slipped to -5 by Tuesday morning and then spent much of the next two days at -4.5 before rallying to -5 midday on Wednesday.Fittingly, the Game 2 total opened at 221 and climbed to a peak of 223 before dropping on Wednesday morning, all the way to 218.
