The match I love this night as “underdog” is the one between Knicks and Pacers. Playing at Madison Square Garden and a special atmosphere awaits us, after Kristaps Porzingis gave Big Apple fans a shout of “MVP, MVP”. The 22-year-old boy scored 37 points in the Phoenix victory Friday (120-107), adding 7 rebounds and 3 jams in the 31 minutes of the field. Knicks receive the visit from Pacers today, and the band in Indianapolis has other claims than Arizona.
Myles Turner returned to field on Friday night in Philadelphia away, but the team did not have much success, being defeated in the final. Turner stood in the field for only 24 minutes – being back after the injury, but today I expect him to play a little more and take Porzingis to his reception. This will be the duel that will make the difference in this match. With a game leader like Victor Oladipo and a young band, they give credit to the guests at this meeting (2.15 victory is tempting). For the sake of safety I chose the handicap for points, I see a better circulation in the field for today’s guests.
