Rotation #502
Pacers -7 over Knicks (loss)
The Knicks are dealing with as many injuries as I have seen by an NBA team in the playoffs. Winning short-handed at home is a lot easier than being on the road. Jalen Brunson is questionable tonight, and the OG Anunoby is the latest Knick to miss an extended period. New York’s bench is unrecognizable, and things will happen quickly against a fast-paced Pacers team that is upset with some of the calls that went against them in the first two games. The Knicks don’t have too much pressure on them tonight, knowing they have firm control of the series. Look for Indiana to have a dominant performance at home and to win by double-digits. Take the Pacers.

Rotation # 966
Yankees -125 over Rays (win)
Schmidt/Bradley
The Yankees boast an impressive slugging percentage when facing right-handed pitching, a statistic that the Rays cannot match. Both starters throw heat, but Taj Bradley tends to concede more hits and long balls. New York is a better team and should get the road win. Take the Yankees
