The Knicks were down 20 in the first half on the road, but bounced back for a 106-100 victory over the Pacers on Sunday night.
New York now trails in the series 2-1 with Game 4 on Tuesday with the host Pacers favored by 2.5 at Circa sportsbook.
Coming off a 143-101 victory over the Thunder in Game 3, the Timberwolves (+3) will try to tie the series tonight (8:30 ET, ESPN).
VSiN.com senior editor Zach Cohen has posted his Best Bet for Game 4:
The Timberwolves were due for an offensive explosion, and that’s exactly what we saw in Game 3. Minnesota posted an offensive rating of 141.6, according to Cleaning The Glass. The Timberwolves finally shot the 3-ball well, going 20-40 from deep. They also went 35 for 56 on 2s, and that was a huge improvement from what we saw in Games 1 and 2. However, the most important thing for Minnesota might have been turning the ball over only 10 times. Oklahoma City is the best team in basketball when it comes to forcing turnovers, and the Thunder capitalize on those mistakes by quickly turning them into points. So, it was big that the Wolves didn’t beat themselves in Game 3, and I’m expecting another focused effort like that in Game 4.
