T.M. Selection: New York Knicks.

I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Indiana Pacers in this game on Tuesday. The Knicks have lost 2 games in a row now and they have not looked good in those games, losing to 2 of the worst teams in the league. I think they are going to embarrassed after those 2 losses and they are going to bounce back in this home game. The Knicks did not look good in their most recent loss to the Raptors but they were playing great defense in their games before that 1, not giving up 100+ points in 3 games in a row. They just got back from a 4 game road trip but I expect them to play much better defense now that they are back on their home court. The Pacers haven't looked any better than the Knicks have in their games lately, the Pacers have actually looked worse than the Knicks lately. The Pacers have lost 4 games in a row now and 2 of those losses were at home where they are a much better team. I don't think the Pacers are going to play well on the here since they haven't looked good in general lately and they have only won 3/17 road games this year. They have also been playing worse on defense than the Knicks have been. The Pacers have given up 100+ points to the opposing team in 9 games in a row and I don't think anything is going to change in this game. I think the Knicks are going to play well on their home court and I expect the Pacers to struggle on the road again while the Knicks shut them down with their defense. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here and get a much needed bounce back win here at home.

T.M. Prediction: 107-97 Knicks.
