Pacers vs Knicks - May 29

Pascal Siakam 7+ rebounds

Jalen Brunson 7+ assists

OG Anunoby 15+ points

Pascal Siakam was quiet on the boards in the first half of Game 4, finishing with five rebounds, but he grabbed three of those in the second half. His Game 5 models range between 6.9 and 8.3 boards tonight, and the Indiana Pacers forward is averaging 10.8 rebounding chances for the series.

Jalen Brunson told the media that he needs to do a better job of finding his teammates and getting them involved. He tried in Game 4, with 15.0 potential assists, but walked away with only five dimes. Projections sit between 6.9 and 7.9 assists from him tonight, and the New York Knicks should cash in on those set-ups with the series swinging back home to MSG.

OG Anunoby has been the picture of consistency for the Knicks in the ECF. He’s scored at least 16 points in the first four games — including 22 points in Game 4 — while shooting a collective 49% against the Pacers' defense. He’s forecasted for as many as 19 points tonight.
