Indiana at New York

New York got blown out at Detroit and then routed Boston 111-89 on Sunday. Now the Knicks are back in letdown mode while being double-digit favorites over Indiana, and they are 1-4 ATS in their past five games against the Central Division. Eight of the past 12 meetings have gone OVER, including New York's 114-113 in the first meeting of the season on Dec. 18. The Pacers kept it close even though New York hit 17 of 43 3-pointers. The Knicks could be looking ahead to Wednesday's game against Philadelphia as they did against Detroit before playing the Celtics. Indiana allows 118.5 points per game, and New York is #3 in the NBA in 3-point shooting at 37.8 percent. The Pacers have gone OVER three of their past five games, and I'm going with a side and total for this game: Take the Pacers plus the points, and bet the OVER.
