Now, the ECF shifts back to Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks need a home win to keep their championship aspirations alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Pacers vs. Knicks SGP predictions for Game 5 on May 29, featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/players\/tyrese_haliburton\">Tyrese Haliburton<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/players\/mikal_bridges\">Mikal Bridges<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/players\/myles_turner\">Myles Turner<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pacers vs. Knicks predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parlay: Haliburton 3+ threes | Bridges 15+ points | Turner over 19.5 points\/rebounds (+330)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Haliburton 3+ threes (-200):<\/strong> Haliburton has been firing 3s at a high rate in the conference finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Game 1:<\/strong> 4-for-12<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 2:<\/strong> 3-for-10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 3:<\/strong> 2-for-8<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 4:<\/strong> 5-for-12<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, that&#8217;s a whopping 10.5 attempts per game, which is an incredible floor to work with for this pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a player is shooting that much, he doesn&#8217;t even need to be efficient to clear this line. Case in point, Haliburton has a 33.3 3PT% in this series but is 3-1 vs. this wager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do expect better performances moving forward, though. After all, Haliburton shot 38.8% from deep in the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s been cashing this wager despite poor efficiency, so he should be good for a few triples even if he continues hitting shots at a below-average rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:114266\">Embed: #114266<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NBA betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/top-players?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Bridges 15+ points <\/strong><\/strong>(-190):<\/strong> Bridges has cleared this line in every game of this series, averaging 17.0 points per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s taken over 15 shot attempts in every matchup and, despite shooting 43.3%, has had no problems cashing this wager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It shouldn&#8217;t get any worse for Bridges, who shot 50.0% from the field this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s important is that his volume has stayed consistent throughout the playoffs. He&#8217;s averaging 15.1 shot attempts over 16 games and has taken more than 10 shots in every matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s 10-6 against this line and should continue shooting the rock with his team on the brink of elimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that Karl-Anthony Towns is a game-time decision with a knee injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Towns is out or limited in any capacity, more volume would be available for the Knicks&#8217; other starters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Turner over 19.5 points\/rebounds (-120):<\/strong> There is value on this line based on Turner&#8217;s typical playoff production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turner is averaging 16.2 points and 5.4 rebounds this postseason. So any average (or above) performance would do the trick here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big man was in foul trouble last game, tallying 13 points \u2014 his lowest of the series \u2014 before fouling out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He cleared this line in Game 3 (19 points, 4 rebounds) and finished with exactly 19 points\/rebounds in the two matchups before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 6-foot-11 centre is shooting 51.7% from the field and 38.6% from 3-point range. That includes shooting over 50.0% in 12 of 14 postseason games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If he has enough shot volume on Thursday, he should have no trouble hitting the over on this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Knicks vs. Pacers predictions made at 9:35 a.m. ET 05\/29\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Knicks are in a hole, down 3-1 against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals.
