Bet highlight:

1. Pacers heavily relied on the 3PT in the Cavs series and they might continue to shoot from long distance since it will be tough to get through post NYK defense
2. McBride getting more minutes = more 3PT shots but on the other hand in the previous series OG Anunoby struggled didnt get that many touches with the basketball and I expect him to be more involved = more 3pt attempts
3. No key players injured + valuable odds!

Full analysis:

New York Knicks: The Knicks have attempted an average of 36.3 three-pointers per game during the 2024–25 regular season. Indiana Pacers: The Pacers have attempted an average of 34.3 three-pointers per game during the 2024–25 regular season.

Based on the regular season averages and the head-to-head matchups, the combined three-point attempts have exceeded the 70.5 line in the majority of games between the Knicks and Pacers. Therefore, betting on the Over 70.5 combined three-point attempts appears to be a reasonable expectation. But in the play-off its different all key 3pt specialists are ready to play and with the high tempo basketball expecially by Pacers can create lot of shots attempts and if they going from long distance as they did in some games against Cavs they wont wait to shoot more often! Stake 1/5 since its the first match of the series. Good luck!
