Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks prediction
The Indiana Pacers and free points are always attractive because of their ability to score, and they mopped the floor with the Knicks back in late December. However, the New York Knicks are probably the hottest team in the league right now with 8straight wins, and they’ve been covering numbers left and right as well. Since adding OG Anunoby, the Knicks have been on a tear and are now 28-18-2 ATS on the season. The Knicks have covered 5 straight games and 8 of their last 10 games overall. I’m not stepping in front of this team. Give me the Knicks and the small chalk.
