After three straight road wins to begin the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Knicks made it back-to-back wins for the home team by staying alive on Thursday night.

Knicks vs. Pacers Predictions For NBA Playoffs ECF Game 6, 5/31

Not only did the Knicks' first home win of this series keep them alive, but they did so in wire-to-wire fashion. They never trailed, and boy was it a polar opposite from Game 4 defensively. New York went from allowing 130+ points for just the third time in the playoffs over the past 30 years to allowing just 94 points in Game 5.

Such a smooth victory boiled down to two major factors, which they’ll need to replicate on the road tonight to remain alive once again. Those would be forcing turnovers early and often and taking over in the paint.

Not only were they the fewest points for the Pacers this postseason, but they also committed their most turnovers in these playoffs with 20. Two of them were their very first two possessions of the game, and it also seems as though New York head coach Tom Thibodeau starting Mitch Robinson continues to pay off, as the Knicks outscored the Pacers 60-34 in the paint. 

Those are going to be their key factors, and we’ve got even more to break down for the best bet from our Knicks vs. Pacers picks.
 

 

 

New York Knicks: The Law Offices Of Brunson & Towns

The two guys on the Knicks - Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns - who get the most praise and blame, and rightfully so, didn’t waste any time showcasing why they are the headliners. Brunson made three shots within the first minute and a half of the game and already had 12 points with 4.5 minutes left in the first quarter!

However, it was still Towns that was the talk of the town in terms of halftime shows, as he already had a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds. He’d still finish with just 24 and 13 due to foul trouble, so it was Brunson taking over late and getting to 32 points that was the strong finish for Game 5.
 

 

 

Indiana Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton, Hit Or Miss

On the complete other end of the spectrum was Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton. His triple-double with ZERO turnovers was the talk of the town after Game 4, and it was needed after a relative dud in Game 3. Well, he seems to be a bit of a zig-zag, yo-yo type of guy after seeing Thursday's performance.

You’d imagine that after scoring just four points in the first half, all of which were free throws, something would have ignited the guy with superstar debates revolving around him. Nope - he finished with just eight points. Despite all of that, you’ll still see why there is value to be had with Haliburton for your Knicks vs. Pacers picks.

Knicks vs. Pacers Best Bet: Tyrese Haliburton To Record A Double-Double (-125 At Caesars Sportsbook)

That’s right - after what may have felt like we were bashing him, Tyrese Halliburton is the focus of our Knicks vs. Pacers predictions. While he had been back-and-forth with sub-par performances, at the end of the day, Indiana runs through him.

After all, the Game 3 “dud” that we referenced was still a game with 20 points and seven assists. In fact, it’s only been these two games where Haliburton HASN’T recorded a double-double. He had back-to-back 11-assist games to start the series, and of course, the remarkable turnover-less triple-double in Game 4.

Heading back to Indiana bodes well for a more likely repeat of that performance rather than another one like Thursday night. Furthermore, Haliburton began the 2025 postseason with four straight double-doubles and five in the Pacers’ first six playoff games.

It’s not as if these performances have been out of the ordinary for him; Haliburton averaged 9.5 assists in the regular season as well. Speaking of the regular season, he also had a 35-point, 14-assist game against New York, which was also a game on his home court.

It may not be the plus-money odds some players have for this type of prop, but we’re still locking in the best bet from our Knicks vs. Pacers picks on Tyrese Haliburton to record a double-double (-125 at Caesars Sportsbook).
 

 

 

Knicks vs. Pacers Injury Report & Starting Lineup

The big Knicks vs. Pacers injury news heading into Thursday night was Karl-Anthony Towns’ knee, making him questionable, but of course, we saw him take the court. With nothing new popping up in that game, here are the expected Knicks vs. Pacers lineups for Game 6 (pending another swap from Tom Thibodeau):
