The New York Knicks rallied from a 16-point deficit in the second half to win Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Indiana Pacers are still up 2-1 in this best-of-seven series, and my NBA picks are betting on star point guard Tyrese Haliburton to lead them to a bounce-back performance in Game 4 tonight.

Tyrese Haliburton double-double (+110 at bet365)
The New York Knicks were praised for their defensive performance on Sunday with the Indiana Pacers shooting just 36.8% from the field after halftime. However, that might have been more reflective of Indiana's uncharacteristic poor shooting than New York's defensive prowess.
The Pacers went just 5-for-25 from deep in that contest, which was their second-worst 3-point shooting performance of the season. However, according to ShotQualityBets, they were projected to score 14 more points on threes and six more points at the rim, based on the quality of looks they got.
Expect positive regression from Indiana's offense, which should mean an uptick in assists for Tyrese Haliburton. The two-time All-Star averaged 20.4 ppg and 10.0 apg at home during the regular season. He also dropped 11 dimes in each of the first two games this series.
The Over 9.5 assists is tempting for Haliburton at -115, but it makes even more sense to bet on him to get a double double at +110. After all, he's averaging 18.6 ppg in the regular season and playoffs and looks like a shoo-in to drop 10 points if he plays enough minutes to hit the 10-assist mark.
Haliburton has logged a double-double in seven of 13 playoff games. He also ended the regular season on a tear, picking up a double-double in 16 of his last 20 contests.

Tyrese Haliburton Under 2.5 turnovers
Myles Turner 15+ points
Not only does Haliburton rack up assists, he does an excellent job taking care of the ball.
He averaged just 1.3 turnovers per game during the regular season and led the league in assists to turnover ratio (5.6). The Knicks don't apply much ball pressure, so don't expect them to force many miscues from Haliburton.
Since I'm betting on a big passing game from Haliburton, it makes sense to take the Over points for one of his teammates in this SGP. I'm targeting Pacers center Myles Turner.
Despite shooting just 1-for-6 from long range on Sunday, Turner still finished with 19 points. He has now hit the 15-point plateau in nine of 13 postseason games.
Knicks center Karl Anthony-Towns is a force on offense but is a weak defender, and Turner should get opportunities to attack him.
