The New York Knicks fought to live another day, taking Game 5 at home to cut into their series deficit with the Indiana Pacers.
The pressure shifts to Indy, returning home with its best shot to clinch the Eastern Conference. There’s no chance they want a Game 7 in New York.
With that, we’re targeting the heavy hitters with our player props, starting with Tyrese Haliburton.

Knicks vs. Pacers Best Prop Picks for Game 6
Tyrese Haliburton Under 1.5 turnovers (+150 at Bet365)
After a dud of a Game 5, there has to be a Tyrese Haliburton bounce-back if the Pacers have any hope of closing things out.
He scored just eight points and took seven shots in this 111-94 blowout. However, the only thing he did carry over from his historic Game 4 performance was his care for the ball.
Hali again went for zero turnovers, making it three out of four games he’s gone under his 1.5 turnover line set for Saturday.
It’s about the only number you’re going to get at plus odds for any star in this series, in this high-stakes game. Haliburton is about the only one who can deliver, too.
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 11.5 rebounds (-110 at Bet365)
He has no hardware (yet), but man, Karl-Anthony Towns showed the heart of a champion in Game 5.
Playing with a knee contusion suffered late in Game 5, Towns was dominant, scoring 24 points on 10-for-20 shooting, with 13 rebounds.
He’s now grabbed at least 12 rebounds in four of the five games in this series, and is averaging 11.8 boards against the Pacers.
KAT also has four double-doubles in this series, and though he co-runs with Jalen Brunson, his work on both ends of the court is vital for New York to compete.
He’s a mismatch for any Pacers’ player, and I think he again drops another dominant number in the rebounding column.
Pascal Siakam Over 20.5 points (-120 at Bet365)
The yo-yo play of Pascal Siakam continued in the East Finals, where the forward dropped just 15 points on 5-for-13 shooting in the Game 5 loss.
Volume is necessary for Siakam to make an impact and for Indy to be successful on most nights.
He’s taken at least 20 field goals twice in this series, and he’s scored better than 30 points in each, and the Pacers have won both.
In fact, with 15 or more attempts, Siakam has topped the 20-point plateau six out of eight times in the playoffs, and more importantly, the Pacers have won seven of them.
He’s the one Pacers’ star who can consistently create offense. Expect him to get plenty of touches and shots in the biggest game of the season.
