Rotation # 517
Pacers +1.5 over Knicks (loss)
The Knicks, dealing with a severe shortage of players, are up against the NBA’s top bench in the Pacers. The team with the stronger bench gains a significant edge as the series progresses. Despite the home team winning every game in this series, the Pacers have a clear advantage if they can maintain their composure. Indiana is riding high on momentum, finding many opportunities in the paint, and displaying excellent offensive teamwork. A wire-to-wire victory seems likely. Take the Pacers

Rotation # 981
Nationals -105 over White Sox (win)
Williams/Flexen
Trevor Williams has been outstanding this year and gets the luxury of facing a White Sox team that can’t hit right-handers for power. Chicago is the worst team in the American League and has little hope for this season. Washington is looking to return to .500 ball and beyond and should cash in. Take the Nationals.
