    • NYK starting Brunson, Deuce, Donte, Hart, iHart
      Jalen Brunson, Miles McBride, Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Hart, and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Pacers.

      Advice: After starting Precious Achiuwa for the injured OG Anunoby in Games 3 and 4, Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau is going with Deuce McBride for Game 5. While the Knicks will be smaller, sparking some concerns about how they’ll defend Pascal Siakam, they’re better offensively with McBride in the lineup. In addition to his shooting ability, he can help bring the ball up with the Pacers pressuring Brunson for 94 feet. Rotoworld Tuesday, 4:38 pm
       
    • Enters starting lineup
      McBride will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers, Tony East of SI.com reports.

      Advice: The Knicks have dropped two games in a row with OG Anunoby (hamstring) sidelined and the series is tied, so they will shake things up by going smaller. With McBride starting, Precious Achiuwa will head to the bench. McBride was terrific in Sunday's Game 4, scoring 16 points with five rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes.

    • Good to go for Game 5
      Haliburton (back/ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks.

      Advice: Haliburton has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite lower back spasms, a sacral contusion and a right ankle sprain. The star guard has been scorching the nets from the outside against New York, converting 45.2 percent of his 10.5 three-point attempts per contest over the first four games of the series.

    • Considered questionable
      Haliburton is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks due to low back spasms, a sacral contusion and a right ankle sprain.

      Advice: Despite all the injuries, Haliburton has been spectacular over the last three games, averaging 29.7 points, 7.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 33.7 minutes. Though he sported a major limp following Sunday's Game 4 win, the All-Star is likely more probable than questionable heading into Game 5, but his official availability will likely be a game-time decision.

    • Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) questionable
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms, sacral contusion, right ankle sprain) is questionable to play in Game 5 against New York on Tuesday.

      Advice: Haliburton continues to deal with a ton of lingering injuries, but it is unlikely that they keep him out of the lineup for a pivotal Game 5 matchup in New York. Haliburton had 20 points in a blowout win in Game 4 after dropping 35 in Game 3. They’ll need him to shine once again on Tuesday to gain an advantage in the series. Rotoworld Monday, 2:32 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton scores 20 points in Game 4 rout
      Tyrese Haliburton shot 8-of-15 from the field in Sunday’s 121-89 win over the Knicks, accumulating 20 points, six rebounds, five assists, and four 3-pointers in 27 minutes.

      Advice: After struggling in Game 1, Haliburton has looked like his usual self for the Pacers. Indiana resoundingly won Game 4, which meant additional time on the bench for their key contributors. In the case of Haliburton, his day was finished about halfway through the third quarter. Now tied at two games all, the series shifts to New York for Game 5 on Tuesday. Given how much of a handful the more aggressive Haliburton has been, the Pacers have to like their chances.

    • Undergoing offseason surgery
      Carter will undergo surgery to stabilize the third metacarpal in his left hand, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reported Saturday. Carter is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 season.

      Advice: In simpler terms, Carter will have a procedure to fully fix his left hand -- the same hand he sustained a fractured middle finger on early this season -- and is expected to be ready for the 2024-25 campaign. Carter missed a month and a half after sustaining the injury (which required surgery) in November but was able to return and appear in 55 games (48 starts) overall. He's set for re-evaluation four weeks after the procedure. Rotowire.com May 11, 1:44 pm
