Expert picks & predictions for Tuesday’s Knicks vs. Pacers game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Knicks in Game 4 and Brunson to go over 29.5 Points:
“New York needed a 36-20 fourth quarter to pull out the victory in Indiana, and I believe that momentum can spill over into Game 4. Going back to MSG tied at 2-2 is very possible and what I will be rooting for. If the Knicks’ starters can avoid foul trouble, this should be a one to two possession game, so I’ll take the +2.5.
Jalen Brunson is 2-1 to the Over on his points prop in this series after going Under last game with 23 points as KAT went off for 20 fourth-quarter points. Game 4 is pivotal and I doubt he stays Under 25 points for back-to-back games in this series or Under 30 for that matter. The volume will be there, so I will continue to grab Brunson 30-plus points each game in this series.”
