Why Game 3 matters
Teams that fall behind 0-3 in a playoff series have never come back to win; New York must steal one on the road to keep hope alive. A Pacers win, meanwhile, sets up a potential close-out at home in Tuesday’s Game 4.
Pacers riding momentum
All-Star facilitator Tyrese Haliburton admitted he “smiled widely” envisioning the energy awaiting his squad back in Indiana after the two road wins. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle’s up-tempo attack has produced 118.5 points per game in the series, 11 above their regular-season average.
Knicks’ urgent adjustments
New York depends heavily on Jalen Brunson’s shot-making and Julius Randle’s physicality, but the duo has struggled against Indiana’s length and double-teams. Look for coach Tom Thibodeau to sprinkle in more small-ball lineups to ignite transition opportunities.
Key matchup: Brunson vs Nesmith
Through two games, Pacers wing Aaron Nesmith has limited Brunson to 43 percent shooting by picking him up full-court and funneling him into help defenders. If Brunson reclaims his regular-season efficiency, New York’s half-court sets reopen.
Projected lineups
Knicks: Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Hart, Julius Randle, Isaiah Hartenstein
Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, Myles Turner
Betting odds & total
Caesars Sportsbook lists Indiana as a 4.5-point favorite; the over/under sits at 225.5.
Crowd & celebrity buzz
Star power extends beyond the hardwood; actor Timothée Chalamet and a host of former Pacers greats were spotted courtside during warm-ups, underscoring the rivalry’s nationwide pull.
