The Pacers enter Game 1 as six-point road dogs in the Mecca of basketball tonight as I look at the spread and Over/Under while giving my bestproved his worth as a scorer in the first two games against Milwaukee, putting up a collective 73 points before drawing the ire of the Bucks defense. A tighter watch on Siakam held him to a combined 61 points over the next four contests.
Siakam finished the first round topping that 3.5-assist bar in four of the six games and closed the series with 6.7 potential assists per outing. Player projections sourced for Game 1 all come in above that total with a ceiling of five dimes from some models, while my number comes out to four assists from him Monday night.
Indiana was able to get pasta busted Bucks team and while they could give the Knicks a scare at home, I like New York to guard the Garden in Game 1.installed New York as a 6.5-point home favorite for Game 1. That spread has slimmed a bit, with the Knicks down to -6 as of Monday morning.
