New York Post’s experts make their Knicks-Pacers Eastern Conference finals predictions:

Stefan Bondy

Worried about Indiana’s depth and pace running down the Knicks, but going with the best player in the series — Jalen Brunson.

Peter Botte

The Knicks’ window has arrived with no guarantee they will be back here in future years.

The team with the advantage of playing in their home court, having good health, possessing the best closer in the game in Brunson, and seeking revenge after being defeated by the same team last year is in a strong position.

That’ll be enough in a slugfest of a series that will be every bit as memorable as the classic 1994 showdown between these two rivals.

The latest Knicks-Pacers playoff barn burner.

New York’s strategy will be to keep the games tight and rely on Brunson’s isolation plays for victories. On the other hand, Indiana will aim to exhaust New York by maintaining a fast pace, ultimately overpowering them throughout the series.

Mikal Bridges is assigned to impede Tyrese Haliburton, but there are concerns about whether the Knicks’ offense can keep up with the pressure and if Karl-Anthony Towns can sustain defensive strength against Indiana’s offensive drives.

Jared Schwartz

The Knicks were the better team last year before injuries marred the series.

The Pacers have been one of the NBA’s hottest teams for months, but the Knicks are the more talented side and eliminating the Celtics should only make them more confident.

Brunson thrives after losses, and he’s had a whole year to think about last year’s series.

These teams match up so well with each other and both possess the most invaluable tool for playoff success: fearlessness.

Look for each to take a game on the other’s floor.

And look for a Game 7 again, which seems like the only destination this series is destined for.
