• Leg 1: Indiana Pacers +4

Well, I guess the house didn’t watch the first four games, because somehow the Pacers are still underdogs. Sure, the Knicks have home-court advantage now and are clinging to hope, but Indiana’s been the superior team on both ends. Between New York’s sloppy perimeter defense and the Pacers refinding their shooting stroke, this game already feels over before it starts. Take Indiana plus the points.

• Leg 2: Pacers vs. Knicks Over 223 Points

While the under’s been the trend in this series, I’m flipping the script in Game 5 and taking the over in my NBA props today. Look, the Pacers’ offense has been bulletproof, and with the Knicks’ season on life support, I expect them to launch any open look they get. Also, last game notched 250 points – now you’re telling me they can’t crack 223 at MSG? Come on. Bet the over and don’t look back.

• Leg 3: Andrew Nembhard Over 10.5 Points (-127)

After Tyrese Haliburton’s Game 4 takeover, the Knicks’ defense is bound to smother him next time. That’s why I’m backing Andrew Nembhard to hit over 10.5 points for more NBA parlay picks today. Despite a 1-for-9 shooting performance last game, Nembhard’s shown he can score in this series. While most of his energy will go into defense, trying to contain PG Jalen Brunson, expect him to slowly chip away on offense again.

• Leg 4: Jalen Brunson Under 6.5 Assists (+120)

Down 3-1, the Knicks’ main scorers will be laser-focused on looking to score any chance they get, so I’m taking PG Jalen Brunson to stay under 6.5 assists for a second straight game for the last of my NBA prop picks. He’s capable of setting teammates up, but recently he’s been in full scorer mode. With the season on the line at home, expect Brunson to prioritize putting up points over dishing out assists.
