Indiana Pacers @ New York Knicks (10:00am)

Best Bet

Bennedict Mathurin
Over 10.5 Points

Is one of the few Pacers that has consistently performed against the Knicks this season.

Bennedict Mathurin averages 25.3 points per game in his three meetings against New York across the season, scoring 18+ points in all three games including 38 against them back in November.

Prior to getting ejected in Game 4, Mathurin was very impactful for Indiana off the bench in the Cavs series scoring over 10.5 points in Games 1 to 3, which includes 23 points in Game 3. Rick Carlisle will likely test the waters early with Mathurin to see whether he’s on or off, but if he can have a similar impact as to what he did in the regular season I think we’ll be seeing a bit of Indiana’s sixth man.

Value Bet

Karl-Anthony Towns
25+ Points

Has been a bit disappointing these playoffs averaging 19.8 points per game, but I think this will be the series where KAT is called upon.

KAT averaged 19.8 points against the Celtics in their second-round match-up which eerily makes a lot of sense – that is the exact average Towns had against Boston across four games during the regular season, being his sixth worst match-up during the season.

Good news for New York fans is that Indiana is his third best match-up across the regular season, averaging 30.3 points per game from three meetings, where he’s hit 30+ points on two of those.

KAT has played extremely well against Myles Turner across his career, averaging 28.9 points across 11 games dating back to 2017, hitting 25+ points in seven of those games. Expecting a bounce back series for the big.

SGM

Mathurin 10+ Points / Bridges 15+ Points / KAT 20+ Points = $3.50
