Overview

• The Pacers hold a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals and enter Tuesday’s Game 4 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse as slight favorites with about a 58% win probability in ESPN’s Matchup predictor.
• The Knicks erased a 20-point deficit to win Game 3, outscoring Indiana 36-20 in the fourth quarter behind Karl-Anthony Towns’ 20-point surge.
• Leveling the series would grant the Knicks consecutive home games at Madison Square Garden and swing momentum toward New York.
• Aaron Nesmith is questionable with a right ankle sprain, and his potential absence threatens Indiana’s perimeter shooting and defensive matchup versatility.
• Pascal Siakam is fully cleared to play, preserving the Pacers’ veteran scoring punch and frontcourt depth against New York’s attack.
