Myles Turner has been great on both ends this post-season and will look to have another big game for the Pacers on their home court in Game 3.

New York Knicks @ Indiana Pacers (10:00am)
Best Bet
Has played well all post-season and surprisingly somewhat consistent on the offensive end.
Myles Turner averages 16.3 points per game these playoffs, and at home that average jumps to 18 points per game, where he’s scored 15+ points in all five home games.
Although he’s averaging just 15 points per game this series, he’s played well against Towns this season which includes dropping 26 on him and the Knicks earlier in November. I think Thibs has to play Towns more from an offensive perspective to keep New York’s season alive, but it will be at the expense of Turner scoring on the big man who is a liability defensively.
Value Bet
You could see the sheer panic from Thibs in Game 2 trying to find the right combination against this Pacers outfit – probably should have experimented in the 82 games during the regular season, but here we are.
With Brunson and Towns being exposed on the defensive end and Hart on the offensive end, Thibs was trying to find the perfect balance – and I genuinely think McBride fits in this balance.
The combo guard is a capable defender and stretches the floor offensively for New York, and has a +18 plus-minus from the first two games – not bad considering the Knicks are 0-2. Don’t be surprised to see McBride take a chunk of Josh Hart’s minutes in this rotation, and although he’s shot the ball poorly we should expect to see him get them up from deep.
