Indiana at New York

What a roll Indiana is on, knocking off Milwaukee in five games and the top-seeded Cavaliers in five. They have an advantage in Game 1 of working on a week of rest. The Pacers are 5-1 straight-up in their last six games as an underdog. They upset the Cavs (114-105) as a +8.5 dog, a 114-105 win at +5, a 129-109 blowout as a +5.5 underdog, a 120-119 Game 2 win at Cleveland at +5.5, beat the Cavs in Game 1 (121-112) at +8.5, and routed Milwaukee (129-103) as a +3.5 underdog. New York is sky-high emotionally after beating rival Boston in six games. The starters played heavy minutes and are working on far less rest (four days) than Indiana. The Knicks are 4-4 in their last eight games at home, including a 106-103 loss to Detroit as a 5.5-point favorite, a 100-94 defeat to the Pistons as 6.5-point chalk, and a 108-102 loss to Cleveland as a favorite. Play Indiana on the moneyline.
