The Eastern Conference Semifinals will wrap up this Sunday after the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers face off in an exciting Game 7 matchup.
In the NBA, there’s nothing quite like the anxiousness and intensity of a Game 7 and fortunately the Knicks will have the advantage of playing in front of their home crowd at Madison Square Garden.
New York had a chance to close out the series in Game 6 on the road, but Indiana staved off elimination and forced the two teams to meet in a do-or-die game.
Head coach Tom Thibodeau has done well to bring his team to this point, though his willingness to overexert his players has come back to bite them in the form of injuries.
Key role players like O.G. Anunoby and Josh Hart logged heavy minutes before going doing with injuries.
However, the Knicks got good news a few hours before tip-off as both Anunoby and Hart are on track to suit up via Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
“ESPN Sources: New York’s OG Anunoby (hamstring strain) and Josh Hart (abdominal strain) are on course to play Game 7 vs. Indiana — with a final determination looming closer to 3:30 PM ET tip on ABC. Both will participate in walk-thru at MSG.” Wojnarowski reported.

Anunoby has been out since Game 2 with a strained hamstring while Hart was forced to exit Game 6 early with an abdominal strain.
Both players are key figures in the starting lineup for Thibodeau and even if they’re not 100 percent having them on the floor is better than nothing.
