New York Knicks at Indiana Pacers
Despite being eliminated from the postseason for nearly a week now, this Pacers team continues to fight. Having now covered two straight games against the Thunder and Cavs, the Pacers welcome to town a team in the Knicks they know well.
The Pacers have been getting quality minutes from some of their young guys, as their young guard combo of Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin combined for 33 points last week as they look to audition for playing time next year; either here or elsewhere.
In their last three games, the Pacers have covered a spread of nine in two of them and they should be able to hang in this one. For the Knicks, while they’re firmly in the postseason, positioning is all that remains. As an illness rips through their team, I like for the Pacers to stay within this number.
Bet: Pacers +9 (-110)
Brooklyn Nets at Detroit Pistons
Now having lost nine straight games, the Pistons aren’t even pretending to care down the stretch here, going 2-7 ATS over that run. For the Nets, things haven’t gone nearly as badly as many had thought since the departure of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.
As you’d expect, the Nets have dominated this matchup, winning eight of their last 10, but failing to get the cover in their past three. Due for some regression here, this Nets team likely has a chip on its shoulder and I like for some big wins down the stretch here.
Winners of three of their last four, the Nets have maintained their positioning in the postseason, two games away from the Play-In Tournament. With a big win here against the Pistons sealing their fate, I like for a big performance from the Nets to get the cover.
Bet: Nets -10.5 (-110)
