77% Informative

NBA 's Conference Finals are set, with the Oklahoma City Thunder taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference .

The New York Knicks face the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference .

NBA betting experts Andre Snellings , Eric Moody , Eric Karabell , Jim McCormick and Steve Alexander provide the bets they like most for each series.

Knicks hold the edge in physicality, reboundin, and playoff-tested toughness.

Jalen Brunson is the best player in the series, while versatile defenders like Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby are talented enough to disrupt the Pacers ' stars.

The Pacers were one of four teams in the NBA to win more than 70% of their games in calendar year 2025 .

Towns has been excellent against the Pacers this season . In their three matchups, Towns averaged 30.3 PPG with at least 21 points in each game and a season-high of 40 . While Brunson is clearly the leading scorer of the Knicks , he has had more difficulty against the Pacers this season , averaging 22.3 PPG. Brunson is the deserved favorite to lead the series in points, but Towns has a legit chance and a lot more juice at 6 -to-1 odds. -- Snellings.
