The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers meet at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Game 3, which tips off at 3:30 p.m ET on ABC. Here are our best Knicks vs. Pacers player props based on the best NBA odds from our top NBA betting sites.
After the New York Knicks (50-32) took a 2-0 series lead, the Indiana Pacers (47-35) battled back in Game 3 for a dramatic comeback win behind an inspired effort from Tyrese Haliburton, whose 35 points were tied for the most by any player on Friday.
The Pacers are 5.5-point favorites to win Sunday's Game 4, according to our best sports betting sites, yet the Knicks remain the second choice in the Eastern Conference by the latest NBA championship odds. That's clearly a nod to the stellar play of Jalen Brunson, who is among the favorites in the NBA Finals MVP odds.

Knicks vs. Pacers prop bet predictions for Sunday
After scoring 39-plus points in five straight games, Brunson finally came back down to earth in Game 2 (29 points) and Game 3 (26 points). So, too, has his points prop total, which has dipped four points since a high-water mark of 36.5 ahea d of Wednesday's Game 2.
That feels like a bit of an overreaction from our best sportsbooks, as Brunson missed time in Game 2 and had one of his worst shooting performances of the postseason in Game 3. Let's not forget that he torched these very Pacers for 43 points in Game 1, and he'll need a similar effort Sunday with OG Anunoby (hamstring) ruled out.
According to our odds converter, these -105 odds represent a 51.22% implied probability that Brunson will score 33 points – which he's done three times in six games vs. Indiana – with a $9.52 profit on a $10 wager.

You typically don't want to “buy high” after a big performance, but it's hard for me to ignore this paltry total after what we've seen from Haliburton over the last two games.
The Pacers guard shook off a rough Game 1 effort (six points, eight assists) to score 34 points on just 19 attempts in Game 2. He followed that with 35 points in Game 3, knocking down six threes for the second straight game to carry Indiana to a critical win at home.
This is the version of Haliburton that the Pacers have sorely needed, and his 26 attempts on Friday were his second-most in a game all season. If he keeps that up, he should have no trouble clearing this combined total, which he's done on points alone in each of the last two games.
DraftKings is the only one of our best live betting sites offering this bet at +100 odds, which return $10 in profit for every $10 wagered.
Best odds: +100 via DraftKings
As prolific as Haliburton was on Friday, DiVincenzo matched him with 35 points on a blistering 7-for-11 from deep – his fourth straight game with at least five made 3-pointers. Incredibly, his 32 threes overall are the most by any player this postseason.
That said, he fell short of this total in each of his first five playoff games, and he needed 43-plus minutes to hit it in each of the last four. He looked gassed by the end of Game 3, going scoreless over the final 11 minutes while missing all four attempts from the floor, including both 3-point tries.
While he deserves credit for shooting 56.1% from long range over the last four games, he shot “just” 40.1% in the regular season with 3.5 made threes per game. The latter ranked fourth in the entire NBA, which speaks to just how high this total really is.
FanDuel is offering this e xact bet with -148 odds, which implies a 59.68% chance that the Under cashes, while these -130 odds return a $7.69 profit on a $10 wager.
Best odds: -130 via bet365
