The read

I’ve watched enough playoff basketball to know the Knicks rarely back down when the chips are down, especially getting points. Indiana’s home floor is no fortress against a New York squad that grinds out possessions and keeps games close with physical defense and late-game poise. With a tight spread like this, I'll gladly take the seasoned, scrappy Knicks plus the points, trusting their veteran core to keep it within a possession down the stretch. If you’ve got the guts to ride with a team built for trench warfare, this is the spot.
