The Knicks come into the contest down 3-1 in the series. Tonight is a true must-win in the world’s Most Famous Arena.
The series has been much more evenly matched than the 3-1 series lead indicates.
I would be stunned if the Knicks lost all three home games of the series.
I expect a strong effort from New York with its season on the line tonight.
Pick: Knicks Moneyline (-185)

We will trust Karl-Anthony Towns to turn in a strong performance tonight.
Towns has cashed this prop in three of his last four games, and has scored 21 points or more in five straight games.
The big man will see an uptick in volume tonight if he stays out of foul trouble.
Our Action Pro Report projects 25.3 points in Game 5.
Pick: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 21.5 Points (-125)
