As the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Finals reach a critical juncture, Game 4 between the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks takes centre stage. With the Knicks mounting yet another comeback from a daunting 20-point deficit to steal Game 3 on the road, the momentum of this tightly-contested series has shifted dramatically.
New York’s resilience in hostile environments continues to impress, and their fourth-quarter heroics in Game 3 were a stark reminder that no lead is safe in playoff basketball. On the other side, Indiana will be desperate to regroup and protect their home court, especially with injuries beginning to test their depth. Game 4 promises fireworks — both in terms of high-stakes drama and potential betting value.

New York Knicks
The Knicks continue to defy expectations with their incredible poise under pressure. Sunday’s Game 3 comeback marked the third time this postseason that New York has overturned a 20-point deficit on the road, a feat that speaks volumes about their mental toughness and clutch performance. Jalen Brunson, although slightly muted in Game 3 with 23 points, remains the fulcrum of their offence, averaging 34 points in the series. Karl-Anthony Towns added to the heroics with a monstrous 20-point fourth quarter and 15 rebounds, showing his value as a closer and enforcer in the paint. With contributions from Josh Hart and a deep supporting cast, the Knicks are beginning to look like a team with championship grit. Injuries are a concern — both Towns and Hart picked up knocks — but both are expected to suit up for this crucial tie.
Indiana Pacers
Indiana squandered a golden opportunity to take a commanding 3-0 series lead and now face the prospect of a tied series if they falter again at home. Aaron Nesmith’s ankle sprain midway through Game 3 proved disruptive, and although he returned to action, he was clearly compromised. His availability — and effectiveness — could be a key factor in Game 4. Tyrese Haliburton, so influential throughout the postseason, shouldered the blame for Indiana’s poor second-half showing, and he’ll be under pressure to bounce back with a more decisive performance. With the Knicks likely to continue their high-tempo style, Indiana must rediscover their offensive rhythm and tighten up defensively if they want to protect their turf.
America Bet Match Winner Prediction
New York Knicks to win
Given their recent run of form, the Knicks look like a side that thrives on adversity. Their ability to claw back large deficits and close out tight games makes them extremely dangerous. With Brunson and Towns stepping up in clutch moments and Indiana looking rattled, New York holds the edge heading into Game 4.
America Bet Score Prediction
New York 112 – 107 Indiana
Expect another closely fought battle, but the Knicks’ late-game composure and experience should see them edge it again. The scoring power of Brunson and Towns gives them the tools to keep up the pressure and deliver another blow on the road.
