Rotation # 547
Knicks +2.5 over Pacers (loss)
The Pacers were up 20 on their way to a 3-0 series lead when Aaron Nesmith got hurt. The Knicks then went on an incredible run to steal the game. Nesmith is questionable tonight, but his injury slows down his ability to play defense if he gets the nod to participate. Indiana is not the best defensive team, so any injuries to key defenders make it tough to defend. The Knicks can slow down the pace with Nesmith out or playing a limited role. New York dominated the second half of game three and might have found the game plan to get back into the series. Momentum means a lot in the playoffs. Take the Knicks.

Rotation # 965
Yankees -1.5 runs over Angels -125 (loss)
Rodon/Anderson
Both teams are great against left-handed pitching. The Yankees have the best slugging percentage in all of baseball. Yankees starter Carlos Rodon has been red-hot. Angels starter Tyler Anderson struggled in his last two starts against teams that hit lefties well. Anderson will get no relief going against the best team in baseball against lefties. The money line is too high for our liking. We will take the run line. Take the Yankees -1.5 -125.
