Two massive Game 4s take place in the NBA on Sunday, with both the Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers looking to even their respective series.

The Pacers picked up a massive win at home in Game 3 against the New York Knicks, and with OG Anunoby still out for New York, Indiana may have a real chance to steal this series since the Knicks' bench is decimated by injuries.

Out West, Denver essentially kept its season alive with a Game 3 win in Minnesota, but it finds itself as an underdog on the road again after squandering Games 1 and 2 at Ball Arena.

No matter how you plan to bet on these playoff games, we have the latest odds and some key trends to know for Sunday's action:

All odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

New York Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers Odds, Spread and Total

Spread

  • Knicks +5.5 (-110)
  • Pacers -5.5 (-110)

Moneyline

  • Knicks: +180
  • Pacers: -218

Total

  • 218.5 (Over -110/Under -110)

The Knicks covered the spread as road dogs in Game 3, moving to 14-13-1 ATS in that spot this season. While Indiana won the game, we saw New York take a similar path against the Philadelphia 76ers, eventually winning Game 4 as a major underdog.

The Pacers (16-16-1 ATS as home favorites) have yet to lose a home game this postseason.

Denver Nuggets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Odds, Spread and Total

Spread

  • Nuggets +2.5 (-110)
  • Timberwolves -2.5 (-110)

Moneyline

  • Nuggets: +120
  • Timberwolves: -142

Total

  • 204.5 (Over -110/Under -110)

Are the Nuggets back?

Denver's offense finally got going in Game 3 in Minnesota, dropping the Wolves to 16-22-2 against the spread when favored at home this season.

It was just the first loss of the postseason for Minnesota, but it's notable nonetheless since Denver now has a chance to even this series -- and steal home-court advantage back -- on Sunday.

The Nuggets are 5-6 straight up when set as road underdogs in the 2023-24 season.
