It is crunch time in two of the four NBA Conference Semifinal matchups this Tuesday night. After digging deep into the key stats and betting trends for both of these games, I am ready to release this week’s “NBA Parlay Play”.
The Knicks won just two of their 13 games in February, but have turned things around in March, winning six of eight as they look for their seventh straight victory when they host the Pacers on Wednesday.
The Philadelphia 76ers arrive in Indiana trying to avoid tying the record for the longest losing streak in NBA history, but will have to contend with the best home-court team in the league, when they square off against the Pacers on Monday night.
The Pacers are 33-30-1 ATS with an O/U record of 28-34-2 and the 76ers are 23-41 ATS with an O/U record of 30-31-3. This season the 76ers are 8-25 at home and the Pacers are 17-13 on the road.
The Boston Celtics will aim to extend their two-game winning streak when they travel to Indiana to face the Pacers on Tuesday.
For just the second time all season long the Pacers have lost two in row. I wasn’t completely shocked that they lost to Golden State, even though it was as home, but I was very surprised that they did not rebound and beat Charlotte on the road – they lost by 22 and gave up a ton of points.
Denver Nuggets vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Betting Odds
The Indiana Pacers own the NBA’s best record entering their game with the Denver Nuggets, and while they’re going to be the favorites in most matchups the rest of the season, this should be a classic case of offense versus defense.
The Portland Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers are scheduled to face off Friday on ESPN, and if all goes according to plan, it will be the perfect display of offense versus defense.
The Pacers are 28-15 ATS with an O/U record of 18-24-1 and the Lakers are 24-20-1 ATS with an O/U record of 26-19.
The Sacramento Kings will make the trip over to Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Tuesday evening to take on the Indiana Pacers.
The Indiana Pacers will make the trip up to the Air Canada Centre to take on the Toronto Raptors on New Year’s Day. Toronto has been streaking since moving Rudy Gay out of town, while Indiana has been simply lights out this season, posting the top record in the Association at the close of 2013.
The Houston Rockets bounced back on Wednesday night by pounding the Chicago Bulls 109-94. The Indiana Pacers will look to bounce back after losing two in a row. Including a heartbreaking loss to the Miami Heat on December 18th.
The Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers are ready for round 2. Last week, the Pacers got the better of the Heat in Indiana and the Heat will look for a little revenge in Miami this go around.
The defending champion Miami Heat roll into Indianapolis on Tuesday looking to extend their current three-game winning streak against the Pacers who have dropped two of their last four.
Indiana arrives in the Big Apple off its first loss of the season and will aim to get back on the rails when they take on a slumping New York Knicks on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Bulls have not gotten off to the start they were hoping for. They have just one win in three games, by a point, and they didn’t look good in the opener against Miami, a team they want to compare themselves to.
