The Knicks lead the series 3-2 after a 121-91 Game 5 rout. New York had a winning road record during the regular season, anchored by a dynamite defense that was second in the NBA in points given up. They outscored opponents by +4.6 points per game, second only to Boston in the Eastern Conference. Indiana's defense was 27th in points surrendered, 28th in field goal shooting allowed (49.5%), and 28th at defending beyond the arc (38.4%). New York won twice on the road in the last series at Philadelphia, 118-115 and 97-92 as underdogs of +3 and +5, and has more than enough to close this series out, but I'm grabbing the points here. New York is 26-20 ATS on the road this year, including 9-4 ATS (69%) in the past three months as the underdog. Take New York to cover.
