One of the best games of the entire postseason will take place here on Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden between the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks. These two teams have battled back-and-forth throughout the first six games of the second round postseason series and finally a winner will be decided here in game seven. The winner of this game going on the Boston Celtics for a trip to the NBA finals all bets will be off for this contest and this should be one of the best playoff games we’ve seen all year. As New York and Indiana battle it out to get one step closer to winning an NBA championship this season.
The Indiana Pacers have fought hard throughout this second round postseason series, and they will look to come through once again and pick up a victory on the road here on Sunday afternoon. They did a solid job at winning on the road in their opening round against the Milwaukee Bucks and that is something they will have to do once again here on Sunday at Madison Square Garden if they want to advance. Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam will have to play their best games of the postseason so far if they want to get past a solid New York Knicks team that has been incredible at home throughout the playoffs thus far.
Indiana has shown plenty of heart throughout the first two rounds of the playoffs. Despite coming into this game as an underdog, they are certainly more than capable of pulling off the upset and advancing to the eastern conference finals against Boston. Indiana has yet to win on the road against the New York Knicks throughout this series and this is a must win game for the Pacers if they want to stay alive and move on to play the Boston Celtics. As they will need to dig deep and take advantage of the possible absences of Josh Hart, and Julius Randle among many others, to capitalize against the New York Knicks here on Sunday.

The New York Knicks will look to defend home court once again and overcome a plethora of injuries to advance to the eastern conference finals against the Boston Celtics. Madison Square Garden and New York City have been placed to be throughout the postseason as the NHL Rangers advanced to the Eastern Conference finals, and now their basketball counterparts that play in the same building will look to do the same. Jalen Brunson, and Dante DiVincenzo will look to lead the way throughout this game once again to send the New York Knicks to the next round of the postseason with yet another victory at home.
The New York Knicks have been undefeated at home throughout this series and they will look to capture another home victory here on Sunday afternoon against Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers. They may be without two key players in Josh Hart and OG Anunoby which could set them back throughout this contest. Regardless of if they play or not in this game, Jalen Brunson will need to be the X factor for the New York Knicks throughout this contest as he will need to record a fantastic performance to get New York through to the next round. That is not something you should have a problem with as he has succeeded with that throughout the majority of the postseason thus far.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- New York is 5-1 at home in the playoffs
- Indiana is 12-17 as a road underdog
- New York is 29-7 as a home favorite
I expect this to be a back-and-forth game here at Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon, but in the end I look for the New York Knicks to eliminate the Indiana Pacers and advance to the eastern conference finals. As I look for the New York Knicks to pull away late in this game with a solid performance from Jalen Brunson. Not only do I look for the New York Knicks to pick up the victory here on Sunday afternoon, but I also look for them to cover the spread against the Indiana Pacers as well. I look for them to cover the spread by hitting some free throws to the game in a close competitive match up here in this one at home.
