The Pacers and Knicks will meet for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday night at 8:00 p.m. ET on TNT.
Tonight's contest is officially a must-win for the Knicks. No doubt about it. Going down 2-0 would be detrimental, if not series over for New York. However, I expect to see a Knicks victory here led by Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart.
Continue below for my NBA parlay for Friday, May 23.
NBA Same Game Parlay for Friday, May 23
- Josh Hart Over 16.5 Rebounds + Assists (+105)
- Jalen Brunson 30+ Points (-140)
- Knicks Moneyline (-250)
Parlay Payout: +320
Josh Hart Over 16.5 Rebounds + Assists (+105)
Pacers vs. Knicks, 8:00 p.m. ET
To start off, we’re taking Josh Hart to go over his 16.5 RA line.
Last game he ended with 20 RA (13 boards and 7 assists). This marked his second consecutive playoff game with over 20 RA.
The pace that the Pacers play with really helps this line. More possessions on both sides of the floor give Josh more opportunity to get rebounds and assists.
He started off hot last game as well with 3 first quarter assists. I’m looking for Hart to continue to play well tonight.
Pick: Josh Hart Over 16.5 Rebounds + Assists (+105)
Jalen Brunson 30+ Points (-140)
Pacers vs. Knicks, 8:00 p.m. ET
We are also taking Brunson to score 30+ points.
He scored an insane 43 points last game while shooting 60% from the field. He got to the line 14 times as well.
The free throws will continue to come for Brunson, and he could have honestly gotten 20 free throws last game.
Look for him to continue to get shots up in a must win game.
Pick: Jalen Brunson 30+ Points (-140)
Knicks Moneyline (-250)
Pacers vs. Knicks, 8:00 p.m. ET
Lastly we’re taking the Knicks to win.
Must-win game at home, they have to get the job done.
They were up 14 with 2 minutes left last game and couldn’t close it out.
The Knicks are still the better team and will make sure to take control early tonight.
Pick: Knicks Moneyline (-250)
