Prediction published on 5/4/24, 7:38 AM  by Stephen Abiola | Modified on 5/4/24 at 10:38 AM in NBA Picks

Indiana Pacers convincingly punished Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6 to book a semifinal date with the New York Knicks on Monday. The Pacers won 120-98 against the Bucks to secure a milestone victory that came exactly three decades after they advanced to the NBA playoffs series for the first time. The Knicks, on the other hand, were locked in a thrilling Game 6 battle against the 76ers in a game where Jalen Brunson scored 41 points. They are cruising despite missing Julius Randle's services for the rest of the year. Interestingly, the Pacers dominated the Knicks during the regular season, averaging 132.5 points. But this isn't the usual Knicks they know. Tom Thibodeau must prepare his men to defend in transition and grind out tough wins. The Knicks are the 7-point favorites in this encounter, where bookmakers expect 215 points.
