The NBA Finals matchup will be set if the Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks on Thursday in Game 5 to win the Eastern Conference title.

The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers have revealed the injury status for Karl-Anthony Towns and Aaron Nesmith for Game 5.

Haliburton, who was named the most overrated player in the NBA by his peers before the playoffs, continued to show that if anything, he's underrated. The star point guard nearly had a triple-double by the end of the first half and finished with 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds. What's more, Haliburton didn't turn the ball over one time.

The Pacers, thanks to a dominant performance from Haliburton on Tuesday night, fended off the New York Knicks and grabbed a 130-121 win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals. That gave the Pacers a 3-1 series lead, and put them on the cusp of clinching their first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years.
