How to get the bet365 promo code

Eastern Conference Finals Game 2 preview 

The Cleveland Cavaliers had the best record in the Eastern Conference, and the Boston Celtics won it all last year. But neither team is in the Eastern Conference Finals this year. Instead, that would be the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers, who finished third and fourth, respectively, in the conference during the regular season. 

If Game 1 is any indication, we should be in for an incredible series between these two teams. The Knicks got to the Eastern Conference Finals thanks in part to erasing late leads Boston held in the second half, but it was the Pacers who mounted an improbable comeback in Game 1. Indiana was down 14 with 2:50 to go in the fourth quarter, but thanks to hot shooting from Aaron Nesmith and a buzzer-beater from Tyrese Haliburton, the Pacers forced overtime, where they emerged victorious by the score of 138-135. The Pacers are the first team in NBA postseason history to win a game after being down 14 points with 2:50 left in the fourth quarter, and Haliburton finished Game 1 with 31 points, while Nesmith had 30 and made eight of nine 3-pointers. Jalen Brunson dropped 43 points for the Knicks despite making just one of six 3-point attempts, and Karl-Anthony Towns scored 35 points and pulled down 12 rebounds. 

That sets up Game 2, which is still in New York, Friday night. The Knicks enter Friday's clash as 5.5-point favorites at bet365 and -245 money-line favorites (wager $245 to win $100). Indiana is +200 (wager $100 to win $200) on the money line, and the total is 227 points, with both the Over and Under priced at -110.
