The percentage of bets on Game 5 of the NBA East Finals was 65% or greater on the Pacers.
The line, meanwhile, has dropped from Knicks -5 to -4.
The Indiana Pacers need just one win to reach the NBA Finals, and that could come tonight.
“We’re still pretty young so we’re learning by some of the experience that we’re getting right now, but we’ve got to stay in the moment,” coach Rick Carlisle said. “We’ve got to keep our eye on the ball and go day to day and moment to moment here.”
Indiana opened a 3-1 lead with a 130-121 victory Tuesday behind Tyrese Haliburton, who had 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds without a turnover, the first 30-15-10 game in the postseason with no turnovers since they were tracked beginning in 1977-78.
The Pacers have three opportunities to reach the NBA Finals for the second time in franchise history. They fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2000 in their only time playing for the title.
Tyrese Haliburton expects much more resistance when they try to win a series on New York's home floor for the second straight year.
“You can feel good about it for the night, but then you’ve got to be ready to go for Game 5 because their backs are against the wall,” Haliburton said. “They’re going to play as desperate as they can, as they should. They’re going to come out and throw a punch and throw more punches and more punches, and we’ve just got to be able to respond to those.”
The Knicks rallied from a 20-point deficit in Game 3, the third time in this postseason they have done that.
