New York Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers CashBet Wagering Analysis

The starters for both teams match up very well but the edge and star-power belong to the New York Knicks. The bench will make a big difference and with New York having a lot of options, expect them to outgun and outlast the Pacers.

Knicks Flexing Their Muscles

The New York Knicks have retooled their roster around RJ Barrett and reigning NBA Most Improved Player Julius Randle. Bringing in Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier along with Mitchell Robson returning from injury makes the team stacked from all positions. This already showed as the Knicks continue to rack up win after win. Coach Tom Thibodeau had done a good job with the Knicks and he built a good bench mob led by former league MVP Derrick Rose and sophomore swingman Immanuel Quickley. Obi Toppin looks better this year and he joins Nerlens Noel and veteran Taj Gibson in the big man rotation.

Pacers Coming Up Short in the End

The Indiana Pacers have a good crop of talent and it has been working for them for the first three quarters. This team still comes out short in closing out games in the fourth quarter and most of their matches are lost by a very small margin. Caris LeVert is back from an injury and he joins Malcolm Brogdon and rookie Chris Duarte in their running attack. Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner have good chemistry inside but the big hole for the Pacers so far is that they don’t have a deep bench to boast. There are not many options to choose from and they need more consistency from their role players so that the starters have enough energy to finish the game.
