Turner chipped in 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds across 21 minutes during Saturday's 125-108 win over the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Turner battled foul trouble, liming him to just 21 minutes. Despite being a non-factor, Indiana was still able to get it done, moving through to the NBA Finals for the first time in 25 years. Turner has been relatively consistent throughout the postseason, averaging 14.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks over the past 11 games. Oklahoma City will trot out a sizeable lineup, meaning Turner will be called upon to shoulder even more, especially on the defensive end.

Towns chipped in 22 points (8-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 125-108 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Towns ended what was a successful first season in New York, tabling his fourth straight double-double. Despite battling a knee concern, Towns left it all on the court Saturday, doing everything he could to try and get the Knicks over the line. Although the result was not what Knicks fans would have been hoping for, the Towns experiment was certainly a positive. Across 72 regular-season games, he put up averages of 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 35.0 minutes per contest.

Bradley (hip) is available for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks on Saturday, Dan Devine of Yahoo Sports reports.

Bradley was initially listed as questionable to play Saturday due to a left hip flexor strain, but the big man will be available for this contest. That said, his playing time will be a game-time call, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Bradley has barely played in the playoffs, and Thomas Bryant is expected to see most of the minutes as the center backup behind Myles Turner.

Bradley (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 6 against the Knicks.

Bradley suffered his hip injury in Game 5 and could be forced to sit out Saturday. If Bradley is unable to suit up for Game 6, Thomas Bryant could receive the backup center minutes behind Myles Turner.

Robinson totaled six points (3-3 FG, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes during Thursday's 111-94 win over the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Robinson started for the third straight game, although once again failed to play more than 20 minutes. Despite the recent promotion, Robinson's numbers have remained largely underwhelming. In that three-game span, he has averaged 6.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game. Thursday's victory ensures there will be a Game 6, scheduled for Saturday in Indiana.

Towns closed Thursday's 111-94 win over the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals with 24 points (10-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes.

Despite playing through a knee injury, Towns delivered a noteworthy performance, recording his third straight double-double and his fifth in the past six games. While it has been a solid series for Towns, his lack of defensive contributions can't be ignored. He has now failed to record a single steal or block in four consecutive games. The Knicks will look to carry this momentum into Game 6, where a victory would then force a deciding game back in New York.

Turner notched five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 24 minutes during Thursday's 111-94 loss to New York in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Despite blocking three shots for the second consecutive game, Turner was far from impressive, cobbling together his worst performance of the postseason. After having scored double digits in 11 straight games, Turner was limited to just five points on 2-for-3 shooting from the field. Indiana was never really in the fight in this one, with its starting five basically non-existent. Turner will look to turn things around Saturday in Indiana, where the Pacers will try to wrap up the series and avoid a Game 7.

Bradley (hip) didn't return to Thursday's 111-94 loss to the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Bradley exited the game in the third quarter and was deemed questionable to return due to a strained left hip. However, he didn't see the floor after leaving for the locker room and finished with two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across five minutes. The 27-year-old center's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's Game 6 in Indiana. If Bradley is unable to play Saturday, Thomas Bryant could see a slight bump in playing time.

Bradley exited to the locker room and is questionable to return after sustaining a strained left hip in the third quarter of Thursday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Bradley collided with an opposing player and limped to the locker room while holding his hip. If the 27-year-old center is unable to return, Thomas Bryant will likely receive a slight bump in minutes the rest of the way.

Towns (knee) is available for Thursday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Towns will shake off a questionable tag due to a left knee contusion and suit up in Thursday's win-or-go-home game. The star big man has been productive through four outings in this series, averaging 25.8 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists while shooting 52.4 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from downtown across 34.3 minutes per contest.
