Prediction: New York Knicks VS Indiana Pacers 2025-05-25
The Knicks are in a hole, down 2-0 to the Pacers, but I'm predicting they'll finally get their act together in Game 3. Coach Tom Thibodeau is shaking things up, inserting Mitchell Robinson at center and bringing Josh Hart off the bench, which could be just the spark they need.
The Pacers, on the other hand, are sticking with what works, and why not? They're up 2-0. Tyrese Haliburton is a force to be reckoned with, and I expect him to go OVER 20.5 points (-102) easily. Jalen Brunson, meanwhile, is due for a big game, and I'm predicting he'll drop at least 32 points, making the OVER bet (-102) a solid choice.
As for the game itself, I've got the Knicks winning a close one, which will likely push the total OVER 223.5 points. The Pacers have been on fire, but the Knicks need this win to stay alive, and I think they'll come out hungry.
Best bet: OVER 223.5 points (-102). The Knicks and Pacers have been putting up points in bunches, and with Brunson and Haliburton leading the charge, I expect a high-scoring affair. Take the OVER and enjoy the show.
