The New York Knicks should roll here, but they’re also pretty much locked into the fifth seed, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see guys either sit out or just not play at the level you’d expect. The Indiana Pacers are getting drilled left and right, but they’re at home and are 10-7 ATS when underdogs of 7.5 or more points. Give me the home dog.
