Following their back-to-back road wins to open the Eastern Conference Finals, the Indiana Pacers now hold a commanding 2-0 series lead over the New York Knicks—and the oddsmakers have taken notice.

The Western Conference Finals haven't been close. Not through two games, at least. Will the Timberwolves show more bite in Game 3 against the Thunder?
