Flipped to Cavaliers +4.5 i just feel the series ends tonight..

Pacers odds to win series against Knicks are really good.. that seems like a decent bet, people are way too low on the Pacers because they didn't quickly dismantle Bucks.

Pacers have better depth and play with speed. After that 1st round series for Knicks I'm betting they collapse against Pacers over the series because of their pace.

i have a different opinion in this. i think the line is fine (Knicks -1.5 for the series) and New York is favored accordingly. i thought the Pacers were never really tested vs the injury-riddle Bucks while the Knicks have faced a worthy opponents in Philadelphia (better quality than the Pacers)

i do have issues on fatigue and how this Knicks team will hold up. Too much Brunson (necessary) and we've already seen good-to-great contributions from the role players (Hart, OG, Donte) so it's only a matter of time if we're seeing a tired NY team and that will affect their effort on defense (especially on defense).

However, i think it's a bit overblown too, as long as no major injuries happen i think they are capable of delivering those 40+ minutes per game and still be effective.

i am taking Knicks -1.5 for the series, expecting a 4-2 series win and even better if they close it out wayyy earlier.

The series bet of 3 to 1 on Knicks is too high. This should be a relatively even odds series considering Pacers were better in the RS head-to-head and they are less injured now.

Even if Knicks has a slight favour, they are getting pumped up by their crowd I betting odds. It's worth a shot on Pacers because of the overrated odds for Knicks IMO.

i have no doubts Knicks can finish this in 5 games, what i am worried about is the game to game basis-- Indiana is capable of making it close and just scary for a regular 5.5 points spread throughout the series and i don't think New York covers easily (like in Game 1)

I mean Knicks shot the lights out and barely won tonight at home. I think Pacers will win Game 2.
