The New York Knicks have been the more impressive team up to this point, but I’m just not 100 percent sold on them due to a lack of consistent offense, and they are coming off a bad loss to the Raptors. The Indiana Pacers have been riding the struggle bus this season, but they’re starting to get healthy, and they’re fresh off their best performance of the season. Near pick em spot, I give a slight lean to the Pacers at home.
