00:03 Huge game six tonight in Indy between the Pacers and

00:06 the Knicks in this second round series.

00:09 New York, one victory away from its first birth to the Eastern Conference

00:14 finals in nearly 25 years since 2000.

00:17 Indiana hoping to hold serve on its home four to force a game seven

00:21 back inside Madison Square Garden.

00:24 It is the lone NBA playoff game of this Friday night.

00:27 And it's a six point spread in favor of Indiana at home over under 215 and a half.

00:34 Yesterday a New York team went into Indy in the WNBA, the Liberty, and

00:39 handled the fever by nearly 40.

00:42 I think tonight's game might be a little bit more competitive.

00:45 >> I hope it is much more competitive than what the game we saw last night in

00:48 the NBA with a game on the home court where it's like, okay, well,

00:52 if we're the away team and we lose tonight, no big deal.

00:54 Let's see what happens.

00:55 We didn't play well in the first five minutes.

00:57 Let's just get to game seven already.

00:59 Because that kills profits unless you're great at betting unders and

01:02 that's the way you wanna go through with it.

01:03 Yesterday for me, Anthony Edwards should have scored easily into the 40s.

01:06 He gets 27 because of a 50 point victory on their home court.

01:10 So you take a look at tonight and say, all right, Jalen Brunson 34 and a half.

01:13 That's where it's supposed to be.

01:14 We expect him to get into the 30s.

01:16 But also, last time we played in Indiana, what did we see here, Ben?

01:21 An absolute smoke show blowout by the Pacers,

01:24 where barely anybody was playing over 25 minutes on the New York Knicks.

01:28 I wanna believe, we had Brian on a little bit early to talk about this.

01:31 I like the Knicks tonight.

01:32 I like the Knicks and the points,

01:33 because I think they're going to give me an honest effort.

01:35 Not like what we saw out of the Nuggets last game, and also quite frankly,

01:38 what we saw out of the Knicks in their last game in Indiana.

01:41 34 and a half points does make some sense for me.

01:43 I like the points with the Knicks, but don't get it twisted.

01:46 At halftime, if they're down 20 points,

01:48 they go, let's just rest everybody for game number seven.

01:51 I won't be surprised.

01:53 Yeah, DRS, I do not expect this to be like the two game sixes,

01:57 or at least the game six that we saw last night in Minnesota,

02:00 or what I think happens tomorrow night in Dallas.

02:02 I actually do believe this six point spread could come into play,

02:07 even if the New York Knicks do lose the basketball game, as we saw in game three.

02:13 Game six of the NBA playoffs in the Eastern Conference tonight,

02:17 between the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks.

02:20 The Pacers booked as a six point home favorite for this matchup.

02:23 Tonight's over under in this game in Indy is listed at 215 and a hook.

02:29 The last two games we have seen, game five,

02:32 Knicks win by 30 inside Madison Square Garden.

02:34 Game four, our last one in Indianapolis, the Pacers win by 32.

02:40 I expect tonight's game to be decided by 10 or less,

02:43 and maybe even within that six point margin.

02:46 DRS, I got to give way to Mike Blewett.

02:48 Here in just a moment, he is hosting Newswire today for Craig Misch,

02:52 starting at 11 a.m. Eastern time.

02:54 So a quick studio change.

02:55 Jalen Brunson's 34 and a half points prop makes a ton of sense.

02:59 Listen, if the New York Knicks are going to stay close in this basketball game,

03:03 Jalen Brunson flirts with that number.

03:04 But my favorite points prop in this matchup, you can consider it my bye-bye-bye

03:09 best bet, is Tyrese Halliburton, over 20 and a half.

03:13 For the second time in this series, inside MSG,

03:17 Halliburton has put together a clunker.

03:19 Only nine field goal attempts, five of nine,

03:22 but only nine field goal attempts for just 13 points in game five.

03:28 He said after the game, like he did after game one, I must be better.

03:33 If Indiana is going to force a game seven, give me Halliburton over 20 and a hook.

03:37 >> I agree with you there.

03:40 I do think that the home team does have an advantage tonight, but

03:42 I would also, Ben Stevens, like to take those six points in here.

03:45 Hopefully it's a close game across the board because I'm expecting to dip into

03:49 some props here, absolutely.
