One ticket to the NBA Conference Finals has been punched as the Indiana Pacers took care of No. 1 seed Cleveland to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Will their opponent be decided Wednesday? That could very well happen as the New York Knicks visit the Boston Celtics up 3-1. In the West, the Minnesota Timberwolves are up 3-1 on the Golden State Warriors and are a win away from advancing to the Western Conference Finals. Both games feature star players out due to injury, with Boston's Jayson Tatum having torn his Achilles in Game 4 while Stephen Curry has been out since Game 1 with a hamstring strain.
Even with those two stars out, there are plenty of notable players in action Wednesday night, including Jalen Brunson, Jaylen Brown and Buddy Hield. Those three all have player props in Wednesday's NBA same-game parlays created using the SportsLine Projection Model.
