NBA Free Premium Play 01/16: New York Knicks @ Indiana Pacers

New York  at Indiana

NBA - 503 New York Knicks @ 504 Indiana Pacers ***FREE Premium Play*** IND is 19-1 SU at home this season and they are winning their home games by an average of 15.2 points per game! This is a primetime contest against a hated rival and they are super fresh w/ tonight’s game being only their second game in L6 days… we can expect them to be motivated and fired up for tonight and so, good luck Knicks! NYK is indeed playing well as of late… their defense has improved a bit while they are shooting better from long range. The problem is that IND has the best perimeter defense in the league! IND is allowing just 31.3% 3pts% in L10 games and with Melo playing as Small Forward, we can expect Paul George to be his matchup while IND will completely shutdown everyone else. NYK was more competitive in the playoffs vs. IND when they played @small ball but their lineup lately is featuring Melo @SF w/ Bargnani + Chandler/Martin in the frontcourt. IND offense is streaky but they are confident right now after a terrific display in their last game vs. SAC. Chandler isn’t 100% healthy so, I expect Roy Hibbert to have a nice edge down low. Note that Al Jefferson completely owned the Knicks in the Knicks’ last game vs. CHA: 14-20 FG, 7-8 FG for 35 points. IND defense will dominate the game (as usual) while offensively, I expect them to control the paint and score some easy points down low for a blowout win. Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 504 Indiana Pacers (-9.5) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
