New York ended a five-game losing streak with a 115-96 victory over Brooklyn on Monday as Tim Hardaway had 25 points and eight assists for the Knicks. However, their only other win was against the rebuilding Atlanta Hawks and the Knicks don't figure to get much better until their key players are healthy again. They include point guard Emmanuel Mudiay, who is probable tonight with an ankle injury and Kevin Knox (out until mid-November) and Kristaps Porzingis (out until February). Indiana is off to a good start although the Pacers had an off-shooting night and lost to Portland 103-93. Victor Oladipo scored 21 points in the first home loss of the season for Indiana, which won and covered its previous two games at San Antonio and Cleveland. The Pacers are 16-5 ATS after an ATS loss and 20-7 ATS their last 27 games against Eastern Conference teams dating to last season. The Knicks are 6-14-1 ATS their last 21 versus teams with winning records. Play the Pacers.
