Live Betting Match-Up: Knicks vs Pacers

At the halfway mark of this year's NBA season the New York Knicks were being talked about as a realistic challenger to the Miami Heat for the title of Eastern Conference Champ. Now the Knicks find themselves down 3-1 in their Eastern Conference Semi-final playoff and will fight for survival at Madison Square Garden tonight.

Only eight teams in NBA history have overcome a 3-1 deficit to win a playoff series, but rarely has a team looked as bad on offense as the Knicks have against Indiana. NY have been averaging 88.3 points a game on 41.2 percent shooting in the first four games, so that's something they'll need to turn around in game 5.

Miami have already moved through to the Eastern Conference final with ease and await the winner of this series. In the West, Memphis completed their 4-1 series win over Oklahoma City Thunder the other night and await the winner of San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors - currently at 3-2 to the Spurs.

New York start at slight -5 favorites on Bet365 Sports' points spread heading into game 5, while the money line has been set at 179 points. Punters can also find a range of betting on additional points spreads and game totals, the race to 20 points, winning margin and highest scoring quarters.
