Matchup Breakdown:
The Indiana Pacers have taken a commanding 3–1 series lead, winning Game 4 with a 130–121 victory. Tyrese Haliburton delivered a triple-double with 32 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds, while Pascal Siakam added 30 points. The Pacers' offense has been firing on all cylinders, averaging over 114 points per game in the series.

The New York Knicks face elimination and will need a strong performance to extend the series. Their defense just has not been able to keep up or be physical enough. Jalen Brunson has been a consistent scorer, averaging over 30 points per game in the series. Karl-Anthony Towns will need to step up and hopefully his knee injury won’t be a problem.

I thought the Pacers would be favored in this game, but they’re not, which makes me smell a trap game here. Everyone thinks the Pacers are ending the series and all the talk is about how the Pacers are the better team. It’s true and I picked the Pacers to win the series before it started, but I think the Knicks have enough fight left in them to stay in this for one more game.

Key Trends:

• Pacers are 6–1 on the road in the playoffs.

• Knicks are 3–5 at home this postseason.

• The total has gone over in 3 of the 4 games in this series.
