Indiana bounced back at home, and the series shifts back to New York as we offer our top Pacers vs. Knicks player props based on the best NBA odds.
The more competitive – at least, on paper – of the two Eastern Conference semifinals series stands at 2-2, with the home team winning every game thus far.
The New York Knicks won the first two games at Madison Square Garden by a combined 13 points, relying heavily on the heroics of Jalen Brunson.
However, the Indiana Pacers did what they needed to by evening the series with two big victories at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, leaving these teams nearly neck and neck by the NBA championship odds heading into Game 5.
Will the pattern continue when this contest tips off at 8 p.m. ET (TNT) from MSG, or will the Pacers steal one on the road?
Here are our best Pacers v s. Knicks player props and NBA picks (odds via our best NBA betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
Pacers vs. Knicks Game 5 player props
- Pascal Siakam Over 2.5 assists (-148 via DraftKings) ???
- Isaiah Hartenstein Under 4.5 assists (-135 via DraftKings) ???
- Myles Turner Under 7.5 rebounds (-115 via bet365) ???

Pacers vs. Knicks prop bet predictions for Tuesday
This first bet is a bit risky, since Pascal Siakam totaled only three assists in the Pacers' two wins at home. However, he averaged 6.5 potential assists across those two games, providing us with solid value on a total that's likely one dime too low for T uesday's game.
We're getting good value with these -148 odds through DraftKings, too, as Siakam Over 2.5 is trading at around -160 at the rest of our best sports betting sites.
Additionally, Pinnacle, which features one of the most respected trading teams in the sports betting industry, prices its Over at -166 after opening at -153.
It did, however, go as short as -223 at Pinnacle before some buyback on the Under. That tells us that the sharp action on the Under was likely the result of that side going too long, which isn't the case when the Over is trading at just -148, as it is here.
Best odds: -148 via DraftKings

Knicks big man Isaiah Hartenstein may have been one of the worst players on the court during the Game 4 loss. He managed just four points and was a minus-28. However, most importantly (for this bet, at least), he managed zero assists after totaling 17 across the first three games of the series.
We're still getting value on Hartenstein's assists Under thanks to his stellar play passing the ball before Game 4, but all signs point to this Under being the right play.
First, this is easily the best price across any of our best sports betting apps, which are all hovering around -150 for Under 4.5 assists. Additionally, Pinnacle is already at -187 after opening at -151.
I'm not quite sure what DraftKings is thinking with these -135 odds, but let's make it pay – literally.
Best odds: -135 via DraftKings
We round out our picks with another Under, this time on the Pacers big man. Myles Turner is 6-foot-11 and averaged 6.9 rebounds this season. Apparently, he attended the Brook Lopez School of Being Big For No Reason.
Turner has gone Over this rebounds total just once in the series in Game 3, and that was the result of six offensive rebounds – a massive outlier when you break down his numbers. He combined for just 14 total rebounds across the other three contests.
You can get similar odds to these at our other best sportsbooks, as DraftKings and BetMGM are offering a -120 price on Under 7.5 rebounds. Those also show solid value, but this price at bet365 is something else.
Comparatively, Pinnacle opened its Under at -124 – shorter odds than these – and it's been smashed to -149 already. This price will likely be hovering around -130 by Tuesday morning.
Best odds: -115 vi a bet365
