Game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference final between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers is on deck on Saturday night at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Knicks beat the Pacers on Thursday but still trail 3-2. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Indiana Pacers had arguably their worst showing in this season’s Playoffs on Thursday night, when they were comprehensively beaten 111-94 at Madison Square Garden.
After a historic performance in Game 4, Tyrese Haliburton had a disastrous showing, managing just eight points, while Pascal Siakam was the only Indiana starter to finish in double digits.
The Pacers committed a massive 20 turnovers and shot just 33.3% from beyond the arc, a notable dip after draining 40%+ from long range in Game 4.
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks finally produced the type of defensive effort that has been key to their success in these Playoffs in the last game, limiting their opponents to under 100 points while forcing 20 turnovers.
As we predicted, Jalen Brunson put the team on his back offensively, draining seven of his first eight shots to post 14 points in the first quarter en route to 32 points for the match.
The Knicks will face a much tougher challenge in Indianapolis, but they’ve been good on the road in the postseason, beating the Pistons three times, the Celtics twice, while having also nicked Game 3 here in this series.

However, we’ve been on Jalen Brunson this entire series, and he’s delivered in four of the five games.
