🔑 Key Matchups
🧱 Jalen Brunson vs. Tyrese Haliburton
Brunson has been electric but can only do so much. Haliburton’s vision and scoring have picked apart New York’s rotations. Expect another big duel.
🧱 Pascal Siakam vs. Julius Randle
Siakam dominated Game 2 with 39 points. Randle must respond physically and slow him down or the Knicks’ defense will crumble again.

🧠 Final ClutchBuzz Prediction
This series has been tighter than the 2-0 score suggests, but momentum is on Indiana’s side, and Gainbridge will be rocking. Brunson can only carry the Knicks so far without stronger defensive efforts and frontcourt support. Look for Siakam and Haliburton to stay hot, and the Pacers to take a commanding 3-0 lead.
Pacers 116, Knicks 110
✅ Pick: Pacers -2
🔥 Total: Over 223.5
