Trailing 3-1 in the best-of-seven series, the New York Knicks (60-38, 30-19 home, 45-49-4 ATS) face a must-win scenario in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference final against the Indiana Pacers (61-35, 27-21 away, 46-48-2 ATS), which tips off at 8:05 pm ET on Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Despite dropping the first two games of the series at home – and owning an uninspiring 3-5 SU record at home during the postseason – the Knicks are sizable 4.5-point favorites in Thursday’s Pacers vs Knicks odds.
