Sporting News: Knicks will win series vs. Pacers in six games

Stephen Noh writes: "The Pacers were able to put up huge scoring outbursts against this Knicks defense during the regular season. They averaged 132.5 points in their two wins. They did it through a balanced attack — Haliburton, Siakam, Myles Turner and Aaron Nesmith all averaged over 18 points in that season series.  This isn't the same Knicks team from the beginning of the year, though. Thibodeau is going to have his team prepared to defend in transition, slow down the game and grind out wins."

NBA.com: Knicks will defeat Pacers in six games in series

Steve Aschburner writes: "New York is more likely to set the pace for this series, which will thwart Indiana’s biggest strength, that faster preferred style. Brunson has been irrepressible, averaging 31 points since the All-Star break with a usage rating (35.5) that would match Luka Doncic’s season-long mark. Role players Anunoby, Hartenstein, Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo are gritty complements. And while we don’t want to put too much weight on the In-Season Tournament, the Pacers did shrink with the NBA Cup on the line in Las Vegas. This stage is even bigger."

VSIN.com: Bet the Pacers to win series vs. Knicks

Zachary Cohen writes: "New York’s fans packed the Wells Fargo Center, as it was actually cheaper to head there than stick around in Manhattan. But they won’t have that same luxury here. Gainbridge Fieldhouse is going to be a madhouse in this series. While the Bucks were shorthanded in the first round, they weren’t able to win a game in Indiana. And the Pacers are 28-15 straight-up and 23-18 against the spread in their home building this year. That alone makes it hard not to like Indiana to keep this series close."
