Same Game Parlay odds: +494
NY Knicks ML (-130)
What a series it has been so far between the Pacers and Knicks. It’s only right it goes to a 7th and deciding game, these two teams have gone back and forth like in the good old days in the 1990s. This will be Indiana’s 10th Game 7 in franchise history and their first since the 2018 Playoffs when the Cavaliers knocked them out in the 1st Round. In the 9 games played so far they’re 3-6 SU, with one of those wins coming against the Knicks back in the Conference Finals in 1995.
For the Knicks it all comes down to how much bodies they have available here. So far in 3 home Games they’re posting a 133.2 offensive rating in this series, playing in front of the Garden crowd has been a major lift for a team that’s missing 4 standard players in their rotation. The home team has won every single Game in this series, plus in the 149 Game 7s in NBA History the road team has won just 37 times. The Knicks won the 3 Games at MSG by an average of 14.3 points, I think they squeeze it out and book a place in the Conference Finals for the first time since the 1999-2000 season.
Check out our Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks Game 7 Predictions
Jalen Brunson to Score 30+ Points (-450)
Jalen Brunson has played in two Game 7s in his career, back when he was a member of the Dallas Mavericks. In one of them he scored just 2 points in 10 mins vs the Clippers, in the other one he contributed with 24 points in a 33 point win for Dallas against Phoenix back in 2022. So technically, this is his first “real” Game 7 as the number one option on his team, so I’m expecting big things out of him on Sunday. He’s carried the Knicks all postseason long, averaging 33.7 points per game in 12 outings, while playing a staggering 40.7 mins per game. He’s come to life in the last two games in this series scoring 31 and 44 points, while against Indiana during the regular season he averaged 35.7 points per game in 3 meetings. Game 7 is where players earn their legendary status, Brunson has a chance to lead a historic franchise to their first Conference Finals in over two decades, this game will show us what he’s truly made of.
Tyrese Haliburton To Record 8+ Assists (-175)
Another player with a bright future in this league is definitely Tyrese Haliburton. In his first postseason run in this league, he has shown a lot of promise, but so far in this series he has disappointed in games played at Madison Square Garden. On Sunday, in arguably the biggest game of his life, Haliburton has to step up and be the leader of this Indiana Pacers team. During this postseason he’s averaging 8.3 assists per game in 12 outings, in Friday’s Game 6 win he notched 9 of them in just 32 mins played. In the 3 visits to MSG he’s cleared this line twice, so I am feeling optimistic ahead of Sunday’s decider. Indiana’s offense will go only as far as Haliburton takes them, so let’s hope he can dish out some assists here and we get a close game.
Pascal Siakam Over 21.5 Points (-120)
Experience is something invaluable when it come to Games like these and there’s nobody on the Pacers roster with more of it than Pascal Siakam. The former Toronto Raptors has a couple of deep postseason runs in his resumé, as well as a championship ring won back in 2019. If the Pacers are smart they’ll rely on him for scoring early in this Game, to give the lesser experienced players some confidence. Siakam has delivered consistently this postseason, averaging 21.2 points per Game in 12 Games while shooting a respectable 53.8% from the field. He’s come to life in this series over the past 4 Games, clearing this line a total of 3 times. With OG Anunoby expected to miss yet another Game, the Knicks don’t really have anyone to counter Siakam in the post, so fingers crossed he does some damage here and helps us land our Parlay.
