We are back at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night for Game 5 of the NBA Eastern Conference final between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers. The Pacers beat the Knicks on Tuesday to take a 3-1 series lead. To the match prediction!
In 283 instances where a team has gone down 3-1 in the NBA Playoffs, only 13 times have those teams come back to win the series (4.5%) - this is now the odds the Knicks face.
New York’s defence collapsed on Tuesday, allowing Indiana to shoot 51% from the field and 40.6% from range. The Pacers also had a 22-9 fastbreak points advantage, which proved decisive.
Jalen Brunson tried his best and got 31 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 24. However, KAT also took a knock to the knee, which is something to keep an eye on in Game 5.
Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers are now in the driver’s seat. Incredibly, they have played 14 games in the Playoffs this season and are 11-3 after Tuesday’s 130-121 victory.
Tyrese Haliburton made history in Game 4, scoring 32 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds, while committing zero turnovers. His statline was one that no other player has ever recorded in an NBA game - regular season or Playoffs.
Pascal Siakam notched up his second 30-point haul in this series, while Benedict Mathurin exploded for 20 points in just 12 minutes off the bench.

Our New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Pacers are keeping an eye on Aaron Nesmith for this game, while New York has Karl-Anthony Towns listed as questionable after his blow to the knee. Indeed, there is a greater concern for the Knicks, given how important KAT’s role is in this team.
The Knicks are staring at defeat and have to respond here to keep the series alive, and if they are to prolong the series, you get the feeling it will depend on Jalen Brunson putting them on his back (again). Brunson is averaging 33.3 PPG in this series, and we fancy he will cross the 30-point mark again in this match. Our New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers prediction is Jalen Brunson 30+ points.
