00:00Indiana entering game four on its home floor tonight.

00:03Still a minus 220 favorite to win the Eastern Conference crown.

00:07DRS, do you agree with the numbers that you see on your screen?

00:09I think it's light.

00:10I think the minus 220 honestly is light here on the Pacers

00:12because understand they're going to be a favorite tonight in their game.

00:14They're up 2-1.

00:15They win this game, and they're favored to do so.

00:17That's a 3-1 series lead with a couple games left

00:20and still a game number six in your back pocket at home

00:22should you even lose on the road in game number five.

00:24But also understand the series as the way it's going now.

00:27There's been a couple crazy comes back from each team.

00:29It's not like, hey, we dominated all the way through

00:31and then just melted down in the fourth quarter.

00:33It would be interesting to see how both of these teams come out tonight

00:35because now you're breathing a little bit of a sigh of relief

00:38because no matter what happens, you're still going to have a game number five.

00:41But if you're the Knicks, you're like, whew, great, man.

00:42Got game number three.

00:43Now it's okay to lose game number four.

00:44No, series will be over, in fact, at that point.

00:47I want to see how both of these teams,

00:48who has the lead at the end of the first quarter?

00:49Who has the lead at halftime?

00:50Who comes out sizzling here?

00:52And also understand this.

00:53If a team is up 15 or 20 points,

00:55both of these teams have shown the capabilities in this series

00:58to come back from crazy deficits,

01:00specifically late in the game and close out situations.

01:02But I look at that minus 220 price and say to myself,

01:05that's probably a number I want to bite on.

01:06Say, well, what about the Knicks at plus 184?

01:08Sure, they win this game.

01:09They're going to win the series, possibly.

01:10And also, they'll be the favorites if they win the game tonight

01:13back as a role reversal in the series.

01:15But for me, that minus 220,

01:16up 2-1 for the Pacers on their home court,

01:19honestly seems light.
