Knicks vs. Pacers Player Props: Best NBA Prop Bet Picks for Dec. 18
My Knicks vs. Pacers player props explore the best way to bet New York's first game after winning this year's NBA Cup.
A lot has changed since Indiana knocked New York out in the Eastern Conference finals in May, but my NBA best bets for Thursday still take stock in how these teams matched up last season. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. ET from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, with the Knicks a 4.5-point road betting favorite.

Karl-Anthony Towns Over 31.5 points + rebounds (-108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Karl-Anthony Towns was a menace to Indiana in his first year in New York. He's gone Over 31.5 points + rebounds in eight of nine games against the Pacers as a member of the Knicks.
And Towns should be fresh entering tonight after playing less than 30 minutes against the Spurs on Tuesday.
Comparing the best sports betting sites, FanDuel offers a full point lower than DraftKings at only slightly worse odds (DraftKings has a 32.5-point total at -107).

OG Anunoby Under 5.5 rebounds (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm anticipating a lighter load for OG Anunoby after his monster performance in the NBA Cup Final, which was his second straight outing of 40-plus minutes. When New York runs away with this one, Anunoby will be a prime candidate to take the fourth quarter off.
This would be far too high of a total even if Anunoby had a full tank, as he hasn't gone Over this number in any of his previous 10 matchups with the Pacers.
I'm placing my bet with confidence at bet365's -120 odds, where a $10 wager will net an $8.33 profit with an implied probability of 54.55%.
Pascal Siakam Under 34.5 points + rebounds + assists (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pascal Siakam has had some huge playoff performances against the Knicks over the last two years, but it should be a different story tonight.
Siakam has only gone Over this combo prop total once over his last five games for a Pacers squad that has crumbled in Tyrese Haliburton's absence.
Fade Siakam against a Knicks squad that will want some revenge against the defending Eastern Conference finals MVP. FanDuel's market-best -114 odds translate to an implied probability of 53.27%, with a $10 bet winning $8.77.
