It’s time to renew an old rivalry.
The Knicks will face the Pacers starting Monday night for a trip to the Eastern Conference Final.
The Knicks defeated the 76ers in six games to advance and the Pacers outlasted the Bucks in six games as well.
Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 35.5 points per game in round one as they outlasted a hobbled Joel Embiid and survived Tyrese Maxey’s Game 5 heroics.
Now the Knicks will be trying to contain Tyrese Haliburton. The Knicks opened up as -225 favorites against the Pacers.
