The Indiana Pacers have stunned the New York Knicks twice in a row to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Knicks are in dreaded waters and will need to regroup for the Game 3 tussle against the Pacers on May 25. Can the Knicks finally win a game in this round? Here is the best pick for the NBA Same Game Parlay at BetMGM.
NBA Same Parlay for ECF Game 3
Money Line: Knicks
The Knicks have struggled to close out two games in a row now. They lost both their matches at home, which puts their chances in doubt as indicated by a +110 Money Line.
However, there is a chance that New York finally gets their defensive act together, as they have given up +40% FG from the three-point range. I believe they will also put forth their best team offensive effort and will probably close the gap in the series.
Total O 223.5
The first game produced 273 points in Game 1 (250 in Overtime). In Game 2, the total reached 223. The Pacers crossed the 110 on both occasions, while the Knicks have also done well on the offensive end.
However, there is a high chance that the theme of high-scoring games continues as the series shifts to Indianapolis.

Why Go for this NBA Same Game Parlay- Conclusion
I find it hard to believe that the Knicks are the type of team that will go down 0-3. The Pacers have some weaknesses, and their defense allows a chance for big comebacks. But they are more confident right now, having won two away from home. However, I have faith in the Knicks to turn it around and the series to remain high-scoring.
