00:00what might we see here starting with game number one tonight four and a half point spread in favor

00:06of the knicks the over understands at 224 jy you expect a close in competitive series throughout

00:14how does it begin tonight inside the mecca you know the donnie made a good point before i came

00:20on talking about the pressure that's on the new york knicks in this game and there is immense

00:25pressure when you have a seven game series that's this tight you don't want to give up home court

00:31advantage and you definitely don't want to give it up after game one so there is pressure on the

00:36knicks what is what do i expect the most guys i expect this game to go over 224 listen indiana is

00:44going to test new york in regards to the fact that you know rick carlisle is gonna run nine to ten guys

00:50at tips he's gonna dare tips to probably give deuce mcbride you know he'll get his minutes

00:56obviously mitch robson he may force campaign or precious achua or larry shamick to give him a

01:01couple of minutes because indiana is going to play up tempo what also gives it a chance to go over 224

01:06is the fact that all three games during the regular season went over this mark and then you also look

01:12at the fact that neither team the last team that was played was the knicks on friday night we all

01:17talked about this should have been probably tuesday he should have played but this is an

01:21extra day of rest for the knicks as well i think over 224 is a play i expect it to get up and down and

01:27if we expect the close game guys then we're also thinking stop clock fouls at the end of the game

01:32which can give you more points yeah it should be interesting to watch your play out too because

01:36both of these teams coming in healthy both of these teams coming in rested we should get a pretty

01:40good performance out of both sides here at the fan blue sportsbook 60 of those tickets coming in on

01:45the indiana pacers tonight getting four and a half points and he saw that graphic at minus 190

01:49we're now pushing over a minus 200 for the money line for the new york knicks tonight big things are

01:55expected and in big games you expect your biggest players to perform accordingly here tyrese halliburton's

02:00points prop in this game over 18 and a half currently right now at a plus 100 price jalen brunson 28 and a

02:07half is over at a juiced minus 106 so a little bit less there if we start with the superstars here right

02:13and we're just looking at halliburton and jalen brunson effects on game number one how do we

02:18anticipate both those players playing because the reason i bring this up is sga gave you exactly what

02:22we thought yesterday coach right low 30s he hit that but anthony edwards didn't perform all that

02:26well and if we're looking at halliburton and brunson how do we think the game plays out for those two

02:31superstars on the respective teams you know i'm gonna go with a little bit of a different take and i want

02:36people to hear me out if i'm looking at brunson i'm looking at the assists more than a point

02:42if i'm rick carlisle i'm running other guys at jalen brunson i'm trying to wear him out i may run

02:48double teams on pick and roll situations to get the ball out of their hands and let other people

02:52beat me so that means the assist prop at seven and a half i would look to go over if it's happening and

02:58honestly with the knicks that may play into the knicks hands because i actually think the knicks are

03:02better when that ball is spraying around think about how they played in game six versus boston

03:06it was because other people are kind of getting involved so now you go to the knicks side and what

03:12are you concerned about halliburton doing his ability to create for everyone else because if

03:16you look at it at the end of the day is that's what he does as good as any point guard in the nba

03:21so what do you do if you're near maybe you try to make them more of a score first guard so he takes

03:28other guys away so i would look at halliburton over 18 and a half points maybe he gets michael bridges

03:33into foul trouble i would look at over the points for halliburton over for the assist for jalen brunson

03:3931 points for tyrese halliburton in that game five series clincher in cleveland it's been about eight

03:46days since we last saw indiana on the floor
