The Pacers' main problems are a lack of playoff experience and a weak defence. These weaknesses are the reason for the team's defeat in the series with New York. In both the first and second games, Indiana gave up double-digit scoring leads, and in both cases conceded more than 120 points - 117:121 and 121:130.

The Knicks show the ability to adjust to a particular opponent. Against Philadelphia in the first round, the team accepted the challenge to play slow basketball, and they succeeded. With Indiana, given the opponent's top offence, New York has to play fast, but even this does not become an insurmountable task for the Knicks. With the score at 2:0 in the series, each successive win will virtually assure the New Yorkers of the conference finals.

On home court Indiana may well beat New York. But this success is unlikely to be as sure as bookmakers expect. The Knicks are capable of holding a 7-point lead even on the road - at this point, there is little doubt that they will end up in the conference finals.

In addition, we bet on the total over - Indiana has no resources to add to their defence, so the team will once again have to impose a shootout on their opponents.
