The Knicks have one win as road underdogs already in this series, but they&#8217;ll need another one to force Game 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m targeting Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and Myles Turner in my Pacers vs. Knicks prop picks for Game 6 on May 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Knicks vs. Pacers prop picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/sports\/basketball\/competitions\/10240\"><strong>Full NBA betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report-news\"><strong>NBA injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/top-players\"><strong>NBA player stats<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/standings\"><strong>NBA standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best bet: Hart over 18.5 points\/rebounds (-118)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A move to the bench might&#8217;ve seemed like a death knell for Hart&#8217;s productivity at first, but that hasn&#8217;t been the case at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hart, one of New York&#8217;s three &#8220;Nova Knicks,&#8221; played 34-plus minutes off the bench in Games 3-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His chemistry within the rotation is an obvious plus, but he&#8217;s also an elite pound-for-pound rebounder. In my view, his playing time is as safe as anyone in coach Tom Thibodeau&#8217;s inner circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Knicks&#8217; offence doesn&#8217;t flow through Hart, but he&#8217;s been efficient in this series. The 30-year-old wing is averaging 9.2 PPG on 52.0% shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s also attempted six free throws in each of the past three games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if the shooting numbers are tame on Saturday, I know Hart can get halfway to this number (or more) as a rebounder. He has 10-plus rebounds in five of his past six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Hart has 10-plus rebounds in seven of eight games vs. the Pacers this season (regular season and playoffs included).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the postseason, Hart has gone 11-6 against this prop while averaging 12.0 PPG and 8.9 RPG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether he&#8217;s in the starting lineup or not, he&#8217;ll see big minutes and plenty of action around the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Hart has played 15 games vs. Indiana since the start of their 2024 playoff series. In that span, he&#8217;s 10-5 against this prop while averaging 23.7 PR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game 6 prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Towns over 22.5 points (-108):<\/strong> I took the under on KAT&#8217;s points prop at this very number in Game 5. Wrong move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How foolish of me to think that Towns&#8217; presence on the injury report (knee, questionable) would hamper the 7-footer. He led the Knicks in shot attempts (20) and minutes (36) en route to a 24-point double-double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Towns is now 4-1 vs. this points prop in the ECF.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He has 20+ points in all eight games vs. Indiana this year (27.3 PPG).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Towns, who was apparently playing hurt, had a physical edge to his game on Thursday that I didn&#8217;t expect. That&#8217;s certainly a good sign for his ability to cash this bet in Game 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Turner over 1.5 assists (+105):<\/strong> Turner isn&#8217;t thought of as a facilitator, but this price intrigues me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assist ceiling isn&#8217;t high for Turner, who&#8217;s averaging 1.5 APG this year (playoffs included). But he has cashed this bet in three of five games this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dating back to last year&#8217;s Knicks\/Pacers playoff matchup, Turner is 7-7 on this prop market against New York (1.7 APG). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that hit rate, this is a fair price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Knicks vs. Pacers prop picks made at 3:32 p.m. ET 05\/30\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Eastern Conference finals shifts back to Indiana for Game 6, as the New York Knicks look to stave off elimination against the Pacers.
