Total Takedown: Knicks at Pacers
Team Totals. It is a simple bet, one with historical data to leverage and an easy rooting interest to understand. Here, Cal TT will take you through the game of the day using wit, readily available information, and vibes. I cannot stress this enough. Data and vibes are the backbone of a team total pick.
Heading into the third, the Rangers were dead. Down 3-1 on the road with 13 minutes to play, and then it happened – a flurry of goals, including an open netter, to go on and win 5-3. And rally they might be, as back as the Rangers. But, the past is history, the future is a mystery, and today is a gift, that's why we call it the present. So, let's dive into tonight's total. One we should know well, as I have played it 3 out of 10 times and won 2 out of 3. The Indiana Pacers Team Total tonight at home is 110.5.
The Pacers return to Indiana after getting absolutely bullied in the Garden Tuesday night (121-91). The Knicks looked far and away the better team; however, two days prior, the Pacers did the same thing to them at home (121-89). Tonight should be a return to form for both teams and much closer. The Knicks are looking to close the game out well, while the Pacers are trying to survive. Even with the Pacers only scoring 91 Tuesday, their postseason average remains at 112.68 and jumps to 117.6 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. This is why I am taking the Pacers team total over 110.5 (-120). I think the role players show up at home, the threes fall at home, and the Pacers are not ready to stay home just yet.
The Pick: Pacers Team Total Over 110.5 (-120)
The Record: 7-3.
