Two NBA playoff games on Sunday, two Game 7s in the Eastern and Western Conference semifinals.
First Indiana in New York at 3:30 p.m. ET, followed by Minnesota in Denver at 8 p.m. ET.
It’s about getting into the conference finals.
The Pacers forced a Game 7 with a convincing home win in Game 6 and the Timberwolves did the same with a stunning home win in Game 6.
The Celtics face the winner of the Pacers-Knicks matchup in the Eastern final, which begins Tuesday, and the winner of the Timberwolves-Nuggets matchup will face Dallas in the Western final, which begins Wednesday.
Here’s what you need to know about Sunday’s Game 7:
How to watch the Indiana Pacers vs. New York Knicks game
The Pacers’ game against the Knicks will be broadcast on ABC and available via streaming on espn.com and the ESPN app. Mike Breen, JJ Redick and Doris Burke will announce the game, while Lisa Salters will provide coverage from the sidelines.
How to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets game
The Timberwolves-Nuggets game will be broadcast on TNT and will be available via streaming on tntdrama.com and the TNT app.
Pacers-Knicks Preview
The home team has won every game in this series, but will that trend continue? The Knicks are banged up. Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson and Bojan Bogdanovic are out, and OG Anunoby has missed the last four games with a strained left thigh. He is questionable for Game 7. Another cause for concern: Josh Hart. He is questionable with a strained abdominal muscle, and he was in significant discomfort in Friday’s loss. The Knicks haven’t been to the conference finals since 2000.
The Pacers’ high-powered offense, led by All-Star Tyrese Haliburton, will need to produce its best road performance of the series to get the franchise back to the conference finals for the first time since 2014.
Timberwolves-Nuggets Preview
This was an unusual series featuring a three-time MVP (Denver’s Nikola Jokic) and an MVP candidate (Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards). The Timberwolves won the first two games in Denver, then the Nuggets won the next three and Minnesota won the sixth. The results were illogical – only two were decided by eight points or less.
The Nuggets are defending champions and one of the best teams in the league. The Timberwolves have been set up to keep Jokic and Murray in check. Do they have what it takes to win Game 7 at Mile High?
Pacers-Knicks Prediction
This all depends on who is available for the Knicks, but if they have Hart and Anunoby, it’s the Knicks.
Knicks 115, Pacers 111
Timberwolves-Nuggets Prediction
Beating the champions on their home court and for the third time in the series? A difficult task for the Timberwolves.
Nuggets 120, Timberwolves 106
