New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers : Indiana Pacers win (+160)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on the Indiana Pacers, despite being the away team and having a weaker recent record, is backed by our model's prediction and a considerable model edge of 19.9%. The Pacers have a lower scoring average compared to the Knicks, but the difference is marginal (122.2 to 125.4). This suggests the Pacers have the capability to keep up with the Knicks in a high-scoring game. While the Knicks have performed better against the Pacers in their last five encounters, the Pacers' overall potential to win should not be overlooked based on one statistic. The implied probability of 38.5%, coupled with the model's confidence, makes a bet on the Pacers a statistically informed choice.

New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers : Indiana Pacers 5 (-112)

The bet on the Indiana Pacers in the point spread market is driven by several statistical factors. Despite the Knicks' recent home advantage, their overall L5 team score is a mere 3.2 points higher than the Pacers, which falls within the 5-point spread. The Pacers have also shown a consistent scoring ability, even while playing away. Importantly, the Knicks' defense has given up more points at home than the Pacers have allowed away, suggesting that the Pacers might exploit this and close the gap. Additionally, the Pacers' recent record might not fully reflect their potential as they've played strong opposition. Despite their previous head-to-head record, the model predicts a tight match, and these statistics suggest it's worth betting on the Pacers with a 5-point advantage.

New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers : New York Knicks -5 (-110)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The New York Knicks are a strong bet for the Point Spread market. Statistically, they have been performing better than the Indiana Pacers both at home and overall in recent games. The Knicks' home and overall records over the last five games (3-2) are better than the Pacers' (2-3). More strikingly, the Knicks have won four of their last five encounters with the Pacers who only managed a single victory. Moreover, the Knicks have consistently scored higher than the Pacers, both in general and during home games, averaging a score of 125.4 to the Pacers' 122.2 overall, and 125.2 to 117.8 at home. This suggests that the Knicks have a strong chance of outperforming the Pacers by at least five points in the upcoming game.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves : Oklahoma City Thunder win (-357)

Odds available at williamhill_us at time of publishing

The Oklahoma City Thunder have a good chance of winning this game, despite their recent head-to-head record against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Oklahoma's home scoring average over the last five games (119.6) is higher than Minnesota's away scoring average (115.2), suggesting they have been more effective at home. Furthermore, their overall team score is marginally higher than Minnesota's (117.8 versus 117.4), indicating their general performance has been slightly stronger. Although Minnesota has a better away record, the data suggests Oklahoma's home advantage may be significant. Therefore, the bet on Oklahoma City Thunder on the Moneyline market is a logical choice.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves : Oklahoma City Thunder Over 104.5 Team Total Points (-667)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on 'Oklahoma City Thunder Over 104.5' in the Team Total Points (Alternate) market is a good choice considering their recent scoring performance. In the last five games, the Thunder have averaged 117.8 points overall and 119.6 points at home, both significantly above the 104.5 target. Although their win-loss record is not perfect, their scoring ability remains consistent. Furthermore, the Minnesota Timberwolves have allowed an average of 118.2 points in their last five games against the Thunder at home, suggesting a weaker defense. These statistics indicate a high probability that the Thunder will score over 104.5 points in the upcoming match.

New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers : New York Knicks Under 123.5 Team Total Points (-556)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The New York Knicks have been a strong home team recently, with a 3-2 record in their last five games and an average score of 125.2 points. However, the model predicts a significant drop in performance for the Knicks in their upcoming game against the Indiana Pacers, forecasting just over 113 points. Given this substantial predicted decrease and the fact that the Knicks' recent scoring record is slightly inflated by high-scoring games, betting under 123.5 for the Knicks' total points appears a wise choice. Furthermore, the implied probability of 84.7% underlines the strong likelihood of this outcome, reinforcing the statistical rationale behind this bet.
