Knicks vs Pacers Game 6 Tonight: Live Score, Key Matchups & How to Watch

A stunned Gainbridge Fieldhouse watched Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and a suddenly relentless Knicks roster claw back from 20 points down to steal Game 3, 106-100, trimming their Eastern Conference finals deficit to 2-1 and injecting fresh drama into the classic Knicks vs Pacers rivalry. Now all eyes shift to tonight’s Game 4 (8 p.m. ET, TNT), a swing contest that could either even the series or push Indiana to the brink of its first NBA Finals appearance since 2000. Below is everything fans and bettors need to know. Momentum meter • New York’s road magic continues: the Knicks are 6-1 away from Madison Square Garden this postseason, outscoring opponents by 8.4 points per 100 possessions. • Pacers’ pace problem: Indiana averaged 128.0 ppg in the first two games but managed just 100 in Game 3 when New York slowed the tempo to 92 possessions. Expect coach Rick Carlisle to re-ignite Tyrese Haliburton in early-clock actions. • Brunson vs Nembhard chess match: Brunson scored or assisted on 47 points Sunday despite constant traps; look for the Pacers to sprinkle in more box-and-one to force the ball to Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo. Key injuries • Knicks: OG Anunoby (elbow) is listed as questionable; he went through shoot-around but remains a true game-time call. • Pacers: Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) remains out; Aaron Nesmith will continue to start after an 18-point, 3-steal outing. How to watch & stream • TV: TNT, truTV (alternate camera angles). • Streaming: a five-day free trial of DIRECTV STREAM still unlocks TNT for cord-cutters. • Radio: ESPN NY 98.7 FM, 93.5 FM The Fan (IND). • Tip-off: 8:00 p.m. ET; doors open 6:30 p.m. Betting snapshot (via FanDuel, 2 p.m. ET) • Spread: Pacers ‑3.5 • Total: 214.5 • Series price: Pacers ‑150, Knicks +125 Sharp money has pushed 64 % of ATS tickets toward New York after Sunday’s comeback; the over has hit in five of the last seven meetings. Matchup to watch Karl-Anthony Towns vs Myles Turner. Towns erupted for 17 fourth-quarter points in Game 3, finally punishing Turner’s drop coverage with pick-and-pop triples. If Indiana switches more often, Turner’s rim protection could be sacrificed—opening lanes for Brunson’s paint probes. Why Game 4 matters historically Teams leading 3-1 in a best-of-seven win the series 95 % of the time; tied 2-2 outcomes drop that edge to 46 %. Since 1994, Knicks-Pacers series have gone at least six games seven times; each swing Game 4 winner ultimately advanced. Ticket watch Resale prices on Vivid Seats opened at $119 Monday but jumped to $178 average after the Knicks’ rally, with lower-bowl seats clearing $600—proof that blue-and-orange faithful are invading Indy again. Prediction Expect Carlisle to unleash more small-ball lineups featuring Haliburton, Nesmith, Hield, Siakam and Turner to revive transition opportunities. Still, the Knicks’ rebounding edge (plus-36 over the last two games) and Brunson’s late-game shot-making tilt the scales. Knicks 111, Pacers 107—setting up a raucous Game 5 at the Garden.
