The Indiana Pacers host the New York Knicks for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals tonight. The Knicks lead the series 3-2, meaning it's the first elimination game of the playoffs for the Pacers.

The hosts are the far healthier team, but the visitors have been tougher and more physical throughout the series. They are close to clinching a spot in the Conference Finals, but to do so, they will have to win in Indianapolis. No road team has done that since March 18.

Here are the official starting lineups and injury reports for the action.

The Pacers are without Bennedict Mathurin (torn right labrum) tonight. His season is over.
