The New York Knicks may be 1-9 straight up and 2-8 against the spread, but that has only served to give us some nice line value here vs. a currently overrated Indiana Pacers team playing without rest here.

Granted, the Pacers have now won five straight games, but outside of Danny Granger and possibly Roy Hibbert, this team does not frighten anyone and truth be told, Indiana will probably have to fight and scrape just to make the playoffs before all is said and done.

Stock analysts always say to buy low and sell high, and we feel this is an excellent spot to sell high with an Indiana team that is not nearly as good as it has looked lately. It is also worth noting that the Pacers were the latest team to knock off the winless New Jersey Nets last night, and Indiana was just 9-12 SU when playing with no rest last season while getting outscored by -2.7 points per game, and they were 1-6 SU with no rest off of a win.

Now make no mistake, the Knicks are not a good basketball team. However, the Knicks do usually perform better vs. teams that play as little defense as they do, and the Pacers are not exactly renowned for their defense either. In fact, the Knicks won outright 122-113 as just four-point underdogs the last time they visited Indiana in January, and the visiting team in now 3-1 ATS in the last four head-to-head meetings.

While the Knicks may not duplicate that outright upset from their last trip here, although doing so would not be shocking, we do expect the New Yorkers to stay in this game to the final buzzer.

NBA Free Pick: Knicks +6.5 (-110)
