Knicks vs Pacers Free Picks

Indiana Pacers -6 (-110)

The Knicks are up 2-0 in this series. But I'm expecting things to catch up to the Knicks in a big way starting in this Friday's Game 3 with the venue switching to Indianapolis.

The Pacers should have won Game 1. There were several controversial official's calls that went for the Knicks, which swung the result. The Knicks then battled through injuries to produce a gutty, 130-121, Game 2 win on Wednesday night.

The Pacers made only 10 of 17 free throws in Game 2 for 59 percent. Indiana is an above average free throw shooting team. The Pacers made 78.2 percent of their free throws during the regular season.

Indiana's reserves have outscored New York's bench by a staggering 77 points. The Knicks are extremely thin without Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson and Bojan Bogdanovic. The problem is now made worse with OG Anunoby suffering a hamstring injury in Wednesday's game and Jalen Brunson dealing with a foot injury.

I see all of this coming to a head in Game 3 where the Pacers will be as motivated as they have been all season. Look for the frustrated Pacers to unleash their pent-up energy to blow the Knicks out.

Nuggets vs T-Wolves Free Picks

Denver Nuggets +4.5 (-108)

The public is all over Minnesota after they dominated the first two games and had Denver on tilt. We're fading them and grabbing the defending champs who are in pretty much a must win spot here on Friday night.

Denver hit rock bottom in Game 2 and basically got booed off the court. However, this team is built with so many vets with playoff experience who are going to come out and make a statement.

The newly announced MVP in Jokic has been shut down and frustrated by the Minnesota bigs. Denver is going to still play through him and they know they can't turn this into a track meet. He's in store for a big game and he's the one who can spark this Nuggets side.

Look for the Nuggets to make the adjustments and slow the game down, which will get Minnesota out of rhythm.

The Nuggets have the playmakers and are still right there with this Minnesota side. Look for the Nuggets to come out as the aggressor and they're going to have their chances to steal this one.
