The Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks ECF series will take a decisive turn on May 27 as they clash for Game 4. The Pacers are up by 2-1, thanks to the heroics of Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam. Meanwhile, both Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns have shown up for the Knicks.
How will the player props shape as the two high-octane teams clash during Game 4? Here is a look at the NBA playoffs props for both squads on BetMGM and FanDuel.
Jalen Brunson O 6.5 Assists: -145 at BetMGM
Brunson’s scoring prowess is well-known. He is averaging over 30 points a game during the postseason for the second straight season. Meanwhile, his passing game is also spot-on. He delivered just one helper in Game 3 but had dished 11 assists in Game 2.
The guard has handed out 6 or more assists in four of the last eight games. I think he is due another big dime-dropping night.
KAT is one of the best rebounders in the league and has come with full force during the postseason. The center pulled down a series-high 15 rebounds in Game 3 to rise up from a 7-rebound outing in Game 1.
Before that, he had grabbed 12 or more rebounds in 6 of nine games, too. Thus, he can be a safe pick for going “over” on the rebounding front.
OG Anunoby O 1.5 Assists: -110 at BetMGM
This is one of those low-yielding stats picks that can pay decent dividends. Now, Anunoby is by no means a prolific passer, usually dishing out 2 assists. The Knicks Wing has two assists in five of the last six games. Thus, this can be a low-risk selection.
Tyrese Haliburton U 19.5 Points at FanDuel
The Pacers guard has elevated his scoring in the last four games. He has scored 20 or more points in three of these affairs and will fancy another big night in a huge game. However, I see the Knicks dialing in against him in Game 4 and restricting him below 18 or so.
Aaron Nesmith O 4.5 Rebounds for -145 at BetMGM
Nesmith has done a brilliant job of rebounding the ball against a pesky Knicks team. He has clasped 7 boards in each of the last two games. Before that, he also had a 13-rebound night against the Cavs in Game 5 of the ECSF series. I believe he will grab at least 5 boards here.

nba Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
