The Indiana Pacers will take on the New York Knicks tonight in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pacers will enter the Gainbridge Fieldhouse with a 2-0 lead. A win tonight will almost guarantee their spot in the final. Thus, the pressure will be on the Knicks to bounce back in the series. As the Knicks are expected to fire on all cylinders, it will be a test of for the Pacers to wither the storm and stamp their authority in the game. As the task is in hand, players like Aaron Nesmith will have the onus to deliver for the Pacers. Nesmith was exceptional in Game 2, where he notched 30 points, and a similar sort of display will be expected from him. As the shooting guard can prove to be decisive, it is imperative to note whether he will play tonight or not. Let's take a look at the Indiana Pacers injury report to draw clarity on Aaron Nesmith's status.

Indiana Pacers Injury Report
While Aaron Nesmith is free from any injury concern, the same cannot be said about every member of the Indiana Pacers squad. Isaiah Jackson, who has remained out since November due to a torn Achilles, hasn't seen a change in his status and will remain out for tonight's game too.
New York Knicks on the other hand have a clean injury list. Therefore, no player from the Knicks' squad is facing any injury concerns, and all players are available for selection.
With a 2-0 lead already in the bag, the pressure is on the Knicks to script a return. If the Pacers go on to win tonight as well, then it should be noted that no team has ever been able to overturn the tie in the conference finals after going 0-3 down.
