Pick: Indiana Pacers @5.800 4/10
I believe the coefficient is given in exchange for risk. The Knicks - Pacers series is currently at 1-3 and considering the forms of both teams, the chances of making a comeback for NY are very slim. The Pacers' game leaves a big impression, with quick transitions, strong offense, deep rotation, and teamwork. The team has been playing in the conference finals for the second year in a row - they have everything they need to win the title.
In the previous round, the Pacers beat the highly regarded Eastern team, the Cleveland Cavs. Although they had some injuries, according to all predictions they should have easily handled it, but it was the opposite.
In the finals, they will most likely face OKC. They have been playing very well this year, but one major flaw is their shooting from the three-point line - only 33% in the playoffs with 37 attempts per game. That's very poor in modern basketball.
I believe this could cause them trouble in at least one game in this series, as the Pacers' offense won't be able to be stopped.
Given that the coefficient will most likely be very high for the final series, I think it's worth taking a small risk.
