  • Pascal Siakam tallies 20 points, full stat line
    Pascal Siakam finished Sunday’s Game 7 win over the Knicks with 20 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

    Advice: Siakam was one of the few players on the Pacers roster with prior experience in a Game 7, and his leadership helped set the stage for Sunday’s 130-109 victory. The brief return of OG Anunoby did not impact Spicy P, as the Knicks forward could barely move due to his strained hamstring. Siakam was once again efficient offensively, hitting a few 3-pointers while doing most of his damage in the mid-range. Next up for the Pacers are the Celtics, with Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals scheduled for Tuesday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:22 pm

    Tyrese Haliburton shot 10-of-17 from the field and 0-of-1 from the foul line in Sunday’s 130-109 win over New York, scoring 26 points with four rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block, and six 3-pointers.

    Advice: Haliburton and the Pacers were outstanding in Game 7, with the road team coming out victorious for the first time this series.

  • Diagnosed with left hand fracture
    Brunson has been diagnosed with a left hand fracture and won't return to Sunday's Game 7 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Brunson finishes Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 17 points (6-17 FG) and nine assists in 29 minutes. The Pacers hold a commanding double-digit lead, but even if the Knicks pull off a comeback and extend their season, Brunson would presumably miss extended time due to the injury. Alec Burks and Miles McBride are candidates for increased minutes in Brunson's absence. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:42 pm
