Of course, the Knicks dropped the first two games of the series at home but they were finally able to pick up a victory in Game 3 on Sunday night after they overcame another 20-point deficit.
Now the Knicks will look to build off Sunday’s victory as they try to avoid falling into a 3-1 hole in the series.
For the Knicks, they enter Tuesday’s game with a clean injury report as they have nobody listed on it.
This is great news for New York as they have gone the entire postseason thus far without having an players on their injury report.
Because of this, New York’s core is fully healthy and they will need them to put together another complete game like they were able to do on Sunday night if they want to steal another game on the road in Indianapolis.
On the other side, the Pacers may be without one of their key players in Game 4 on Tuesday as they have listed Aaron Nesmith as questionable due to a right ankle sprain.
Nesmith suffered the injury in Game 3 but he was able to return to the contest, though he did not look like his normal self as he tried to play through the pain.
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said on Monday that Nesmith will be a game-time decision for Game 4 on Tuesday night and if he is unable to play, it would be a massive blow for Indiana, especially with the series he has put together thus far.
