The New York Knicks (32-18) and Indiana Pacers (32-21) have each won on their home floor during the 2012-13 season series, which is important to consider when making your NBA picks on Wednesday night, when they meet at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. ย 

Sports bettors will find that the Knicks are four-point road underdogs in the pro basketball odds (courtesy of SBR Forum), while the total opened at 187 in the market.

Let's take a closer look at this Eastern Conference matchup from a betting perspective, while offering a prediction on the total along the way.ย 

New York Knicks

1 of 3

The New York Knicks have dropped three of their last four games, including a disappointing 92-88 setback to the Toronto Raptors as eight-point home favorites a week ago.

Sports bettors will find that the Knicks are 9-4 against the spread when playing on three or more days' rest over the last two-plus seasons.

Indiana Pacers

2 of 3

The Indiana Pacers are 21-5 overall at home this season, including a 13-3 mark versus Eastern Conference foes.

Sports bettors will find that the UNDER is 5-0 in the Pacers' last five games when playing on three or more days' rest.

Prediction

3 of 3

I'm going to recommend that readers play the total as one of their NBA betting picks on Wednesday night, as the UNDER is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers.
