Indiana -9
With the regular portion of the 2009-10 season winding down, the Pacers host the Knicks with double revenge on their minds tonight in a super situation filled with solid winning edges. For openers, New York takes to the road off a home underdog revenge win over Boston last night after having just returned from a 5-game west coast road trip. Not good news for a Knicks squad that is just 1-9 SU and ATS in games without rest against .500 or less opposition this season, including 0-5 SU and ATS away and 0-5 SU and ATS as a dog in this role. On the flip side, the Pacers are 16-5 ATS in this series in games in which New York is off an underdog victory, including 9-0 ATS from Game 77 out. The clincher is the fact that unrested teams off a SU underdog win from Game 77 out are 0-7 SU and ATS versus a rested foe off a win of 13 or more points since 1997. With that we'll fade the fatigued Knicks here tonight. We recommend a 4-unit play on Indiana.
