If you're an old school 1990s NBA fan, then we have the perfect series for you. The Knicks and Pacers faced each other six times in the NBA Playoffs in a span of just 7 years during the 1990s, they'll renew their rivalry on Monday night in the East semi-finals at MSG. Tip-off is at 7.30 pm ET on TNT, I've prepared a Same Game Parlay to spice things up a bit.

Let's dive into my SGP bet now!
IND Pacers +6 Point Spread (-110)
Both the Knicks and Pacers advanced from the 1st Round after 6 games, setting up only their 3rd postseason match-up since the turn of the century. Game 1 will be a feel out game for both sides, and really it could go either way depending on how the two teams settle in after the initial jitters go away. Experience wise the Knicks have a slight edge having been in this situation last year and ultimately lost to Miami in 6 games. This is uncharted territory for Indiana, but I do expect them to put up a fight and push the series to at least 6 or even 7 games.
