Here is the injury report and predicted starting lineups ahead of Game 4 between the Pacers and the Knicks.
The Indiana Pacers are set to host the New York Knicks in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference Finals clash on Tuesday, May 27 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Knicks will enter the game on the back of a 106-100 victory over the Pacers, which marked their first victory of the series. Since New York is finally aboard, it won’t let the series slip away and aim to level it before action moves back to MSG.
The Pacers, on the other hand, are still in control of the series despite their loss in the previous fixture. However, as the series is taking a crucial turn, they wouldn’t want to be pushed back. Tyrese Haliburton and Co. would want to make the most of their home-court advantage and secure a win to continue their lead and inch closer to the series victory. They lacked on an offensive flow late in Game 3, which ultimately impacted the game’s outcome. However, they would want to get back on track and aim to gain a strong lead in the series on Tuesday, bouncing back from their loss.
It is to be noted that the Pacers are 5-3 against the Knicks all-time in playoffs series. They won all three of the last three series against the New York-based rivals. Having said that, let’s see which players from both teams would miss in the forthcoming fixture.
