Pacers vs. Knicks Odds & Betting Predictions - February 11, 2024

Yup I’m in.

The Pacers and the Knicks face off today in the Garden and one player who looks to be getting back to his pre-injury self is Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton has played limited minutes since his return to action but saw his minutes climb from 22 to 29 against the Rockets and 26 against the Warriors. In the game against the Warriors he racked up 11 assists on 17 potentials which is much closer in line to his full season numbers of 11.7 on 19.6 potentials (league leader). Considering the Pacers do not play again until Monday, I think we should see more minutes from Haliburton. When he has played at least 25 minutes, he has eclipsed this line in 30 of 36 games. Even if we cap it between 25 and 30 minutes he’s cleared in 5/8 while averaging 10.3 dimes per game. Haliburton has balled at the Garden, and last season in normal minutes he tallied 10 and 7 then this year on December 30th he had an absurd 23 assists in New York. Additionally, 10 days ago on a minutes limit he dished out 5 on 15 potentials. The 8.5 is too low for a facilitator as elite as Haliburton, and I’ll back him to exceed his assists prop today and don’t hate a sprinkle on Double Double as well.
