Today's NBA Picks

The Rockets return home after last night's 103-100 win at New Orleans and bring a 5-1 ATS record in their last 6 games when playing on 0 days of rest into tonight's contest with Oklahoma City.

NBA doubleheader: Knicks at Pacers, Thunder at Rockets

New York Knicks at Indiana Pacers (-10, 184)

The Indiana Pacers are seemingly invincible at home, where they'll try for their ninth straight victory when the New York Knicks visit Thursday. The Pacers' 19-1 home mark is a big reason why they own the NBA's best record, and they're coming off a 116-92 pasting of visiting Sacramento on Tuesday. The Knicks had a season-best five-game winning streak snapped with a 108-98 loss at Charlotte on Tuesday and dropped a half-game out of eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Indiana is the top defensive team in the league, and the Pacers are especially stingy at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, where they allow just 83 points per game and hold opponents to 38.9 percent shooting. "It's a different story when you come to play here," Pacers star Paul George told reporters. "Whatever you've done previously, when a team comes in hot, we make that commitment that it's going to be tough to play here." The Knicks have not lost a season series to the Pacers since Indiana swept four games in 2007-08, but the Pacers won the first game of this season's three-game series 103-96 in overtime Nov. 20 in New York.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TNT, MSG (New York)

LINE: The line is currently at Pacers -10. The total is opened at 184.

COVERS POWER RANKINGS: New York (-6.1) - Indiana (-14.3) - home court (-3) = Indiana -11.1

ABOUT THE KNICKS (15-23, 16-22 ATS): New York's hot streak has come amid turmoil between coach Mike Woodson and enigmatic swingman J.R. Smith, who was benched for the second time in four games against the Bobcats. Smith (11.4 points) is one of only four players who average double-digit scoring for the Knicks. The Knicks got big man Tyson Chandler back against Charlotte after he missed the previous four games with bronchitis, but he didn't make much of an impact with five points and four rebounds in 16 minutes, and they're still without guard Pablo Prigioni (toe) and forward Metta World Peace (knee).

ABOUT THE PACERS (30-7, 25-12 ATS): Indiana's league-best defense starts with defending the rim, as the Pacers allow an NBA-low 34.2 points per game in the paint and ranks sixth in the league with 5.8 blocked shots per contest. The Pacers don't need to light up the scoreboard, but they're efficient and balanced on offense with all five starters averaging double-digit scoring and reserve Danny Granger (9.1 points) continuing to improve as he works his way back from injury. Indiana turned in one of its best offensive showings of the season against the Kings, shooting a season-high 54.9 percent and getting 31 points from leading scorer Paul George (22.8 points, 6.2 rebounds).

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Knicks are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Knicks are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings in Indiana.


BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Indiana has not allowed 100 or more points in its past 13 games and has done so only six times all season.

2. Knicks leading scorer Carmelo Anthony (26 points, 8.8 rebounds) tallied 30 points and 18 boards in the first meeting this season and averages 25.3 points in 26 career regular-season games against Indiana.

3. The Pacers are 20-0 when holding opponents under 90 points.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Houston Rockets (-2.5, 206)

The Houston Rockets finished up a four-game road trip with three straight wins but will get little time pat themselves on the back when they return home to host the Oklahoma City Thunder on the second night of a back-to-back Thursday. James Harden played the hero with eight points in the final three minutes of a 103-100 victory at New Orleans but is not always at his best against his former team. The Thunder are losers of three of four.

Oklahoma City is having a hard time without Russell Westbrook and is averaging 94.3 points in the last four games - more than 10 below its season mark. Kevin Durant is putting up an average of 37 points in that span but is getting little help. Harden is finding help up and down the Rockets roster of late with Terrence Jones and Chandler Parsons stepping up to join Harden, Dwight Howard and Jeremy Lin as a formidable offensive and defensive unit.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE: The Rockets opened as 2.5-point faves. The total is currently at 206.

COVERS POWER RANKINGS: Oklahoma City (-12.5) - Houston (-10.5) + home court (-3) = Houston -1

ABOUT THE THUNDER (28-10, 20-18 ATS): Oklahoma City won its first two after Westbrook went down with another knee surgery but has since dropped five of eight, including its last three on the road. Durant went 15-of-28 from the floor in Tuesday’s 90-87 loss at Memphis but passed up the last shot and instead fired a pass to Serge Ibaka, who missed a 3-pointer. “That’s the thing I love about (Durant),” coach Scott Brooks told reporters. “He makes the right play. He can force a shot, but that wasn’t the right play.”

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (26-14, 20-17-2 ATS): Harden’s late-game offense was the key to overcoming a 17-point deficit at New Orleans on Wednesday, but defensive plays by Howard and Jones underneath were what set that offense up. Jones scored a career-high 25 points on Wednesday but also blocked six shots and has recorded 12 blocks in the last three games. The second-year forward has seen his minutes stay steady over the past two games even with Parsons back from a hamstring injury as Houston experimented with some bigger lineups.

TRENDS:

* Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.
* Thunder are 1-4 ATS in their last four road games.
* Rocket are 5-1 ATS in their last six games on no days rest.
* Under 6-1 in Thunder last seven versus a team with a winning SU record.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Harden was held to eight points on 2-of-9 shooting in a 117-86 loss at Oklahoma City on Dec. 29 and is averaging 24 points on 41 percent shooting in four career regular-season games against his original franchise.

2. Durant is just 6-for-30 from 3-point range in the last five games.

3. Houston G Aaron Brooks (knee) sat out Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday.
