Tonight, DraftKings Sportsbook is offering an amazing profit boost promotion. If you create a same-game parlay (SGP) for Game 6 between the Pacers and the Knicks, you’ll then be issued a single-use Profit Boost Token. The only catch? The parlay has to be at least three legs with odds of at least +300 or longer.
With New York on the brink of elimination, here’s my favorite same-game parlay for tonight’s action in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Pacers vs. Knicks Same Game Parlay
- Jalen Brunson u6.5 Assists
- Bennedict Mathurin 10+ Points
- Full game over 221.5
Jalen Brunson u6.5 Assists
Jalen Brunson has been phenomenal for the Knicks this postseason. He is averaging over 30 points per game, the most of any player in the league who has played more than five playoff games this season. Brunson has scored 31 or more points in four out of five games in this series. He is always looking to create a scoring chance when he has the ball, but he has not been as much of a distributor in this series. Brunson has had six assists or fewer in six of his past seven games. The Knicks have played a lot of isolation ball in this series, with either Brunson or Karl-Anthony Towns creating their own shot. In an elimination road game, Brunson will want the ball in his hands, taking the big shots. It should be a great scoring night for Brunson once again, but he will stay under 6.5 assists.
Bennedict Mathurin 10+ Points
Bennedict Mathurin has broken out for the Pacers over the last two games. Mathurin only played 12 minutes in Game 4, but he took full advantage of that time, scoring 20 points. After those fantastic minutes, coach Rick Carlisle put his trust in Mathurin, giving him 25 minutes in Game 5. Mathurin was the only Pacer who had any offensive success in that game, going for 23 points. He was Indiana’s leading scorer and rebounder in Game 5, which should lead to Carlisle giving him significant minutes again. Mathurin has done a great job of getting to the free-throw line, averaging 10 free-throw attempts in the last two games. If he can keep that up, he should easily get at least 10 points in this game.
o221.5
The Knicks and Pacers have gone over this number in three out of five games so far in this series. The Knicks turned in two great defensive performances in Games 3 and 5, keeping those games under the total. However, the Knicks’ offense has done its part in all five games to get the game over the total. The Pacers’ offense should bounce back in its own building after a dreadful Game 5. These have been two of the five highest-scoring teams in the NBA this postseason, and with both teams in desperation mode, they should get over the total.
