Pacers +5.5

The Pacers +5.5 on the point spread leads off my NBA parlay predictions.

Coming off an emotional win, this game could go one of two ways.

One, the Pacers are emotionally exhausted after coming back to get the win.

Or two, the Knicks had the wind knocked out of them, and they might have been a bit slow to recover.

I think the Knicks will win this one at home, but I'm still betting on the Pacers against the spread.

The Knicks got the better of them during the regular season and while the Pacers absolutely deserved that win, Haliburton's buzzer-beater was one of the most insanely lucky shots I've ever witnessed.

It's worth noting that, during the regular season matchups, the Pacers and Knicks were without some key players.

The Knicks were without Mitchell Robinson in all of them. OG Anunoby missed one, and the Pacers saw Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard, Obi Toppin, and Myles Turner each miss time.

OK, looking at Game 1, the Pacers got the win despite trailing 69-62 at halftime.

In the game, they shot 51% from the floor (51 of 100), including 15 of 37 from 3-point range (40.5%).

This came despite making seven less free-throws, losing the rebound battle (46-39), having less blocks (8-3), less steals (7-6), and less points in the paint (62-50).

The Knicks committed 15 turnovers, though, which is slightly more than their season-long average of 13.2 per game.

The Knicks also shot about 51% from the floor, but they made four less 3-point shots.

So, making fewer 3-point shots and committing eight more turnovers spells a bit of a disaster.

The Pacers do keep the tempo up and they're a tough team to stop.

Again, I think the Knicks will win here at home, coming off a tough loss, but the Pacers will continue to play them hard.

When it's all said and done, the Knicks win this one 118-115.

Karl-Anthony Towns 20+ Points

The next leg of my NBA Same Game Parlay today is for Towns to have 20 points or more.

I took this in my write-up earlier this week and while this game went to overtime, Towns crushed this line of 20+ points.

In Game 1, he shot 11 of 17 from the floor and 4 of 8 from 3-point range, racking up 35 points.

He's now had 20 points or more in four of his last five games.

Against the Pacers during the regular season, he had 20 points or more in all three matchups.

For whatever reason, Towns has the Pacers number. His 17 shot attempts were the second-least he's made against them this season.

The only time he had fewer shots was the first game against them during the regular season which was also Towns' second game in a Knicks uniform.

In that one, he was 5 of 11 from the floor, 2 of 2 from 3-point range, and 9 of 10 from the free-throw line, and played just over 32 minutes.

He did shoot a bit above what I expected from 3-point range, but that said, he does shoot 42% from beyond the arc.

Keep riding with Towns against the Pacers.

Mitchell Robinson Under 4.5 Points

The next leg of my NBA Same Game Parlay today is for Robinson to have under 4.5 points.

We all know about Robinson's free-throw woes—he shoots just 68.4% from the line—but simply put, he's not a scoring threat whatsoever.

Over his last five games, he's had four points or less in three games. He had eight against the Celtics, going 6 of 6 from the free-throw line.

That's certainly an anomaly.

Then, he had six points back on May 10 against Boston as he went to the lin 12 times and made four shots.

In Game 1 against the Pacers, he played 21 minutes, went 1 of 1 from the floor and 0 for 2 from the line.

He finished with just two points.

Remember, this game went to overtime, and he still played for just 21 minutes.

He's averaging 5.1 points on the season, but he had four or less in 10 of the 17 games he played during the regular season.

He didn't play against the Pacers at all during the regular season, so there's no data besides Game 1 to go off.

That said, I've seen enough—take the under and don't look back.
