PREVIEW

The Pacers and Knicks will square off at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Game 4 of the Eastern Finals, with New York leading the series 2-1. The Knicks pulled off another stunning comeback in Game 3, rallying from 20 points down to win 106-100 on the road—continuing the pattern of road teams winning each game in the series.

New York’s perimeter defense proved pivotal, holding the Pacers to just 5-of-25 (20.0%) from beyond the arc. Karl-Anthony Towns led the way with a 24-point, 15-rebound double-double, scoring 20 in the fourth quarter alone after managing just four through the first three quarters.

The Knicks are now 6-1 on the road in this year’s playoffs and 9-2 in their last 11 games when Towns grabs 15 or more rebounds. Indiana may be shorthanded, with Aaron Nesmith listed as questionable due to an ankle sprain.

PICK – INDIANA -2.5
