The Eastern Conference finals will not be a Boston-versus-New York affair.

The Pacers ended the injury-ravaged Knicks’ playoff run Sunday with a 130-109 win in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semis.

Indiana, the No. 6 seed in the East, will face the top-seeded Celtics in the conference finals, with Game 1 set for Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET at TD Garden.

What can Boston expect from the Pacers? Points. A whole lot of ‘em.

Indiana led the NBA in points per game during the regular season (123.3) and has been the highest-scoring team so far in these playoffs. The Pacers were second in offensive rating, trailing only the Celtics, and rank first in that metric in the postseason, one spot ahead of Boston.

The Pacers scored more than 120 points in three of their five regular-season matchups against Boston, and they were one of just four teams to beat the 64-win C’s multiple times. One of those victories — 122-112 in Indianapolis on Dec. 4 — knocked the Celtics out of the NBA’s In-Season Tournament.

The reason for Indiana’s offensive success? Elite shooting. The Pacers shot 50.7% from the floor during the regular season, the highest field-goal percentage of any team since the 1994-95 Utah Jazz. In Sunday’s series-clinching rout of the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, they set an NBA playoff record by hitting 67.1% of their field goals (including 13 of 24 3-pointers).

But while Boston is able to pair its offensive firepower with stout defense, Indiana is far more one-dimensional. The Pacers ranked 24th in defensive rating during the regular season, and only three teams have allowed more points per game this postseason. The Celtics hung 155 on them in one game back in November and will be heavily favored in this series.

Much like the Celtics, the Pacers benefited from facing hobbled teams during the first two playoff rounds, beating the Milwaukee Bucks without Giannis Antetokounmpo before rallying from a 3-2 series deficit to oust a Knicks team that was missing a slew of key players.

Boston notched five-game series victories over the Jimmy Butler-less Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers sans Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen to reach its third straight Eastern Conference finals and sixth in the last eight years. The Celtics, who have been resting since finishing off Cleveland last Wednesday, are 8-2 in the playoffs, with seven double-digit wins and a league-best plus-11.3 point differential.

Porzingis ‘working hard’ to return

Kristaps Porzingis is expected to miss the first two games of the East finals, but the Celtics are optimistic he’ll be able to return at some point in the series, according to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Porzingis suffered a soleus strain in his right calf during Game 4 of Boston’s opening-round series against Miami and has not played since, sitting out the last six games.

Head coach Joe Mazzulla remained tight-lipped about the 7-foot-2 big man’s recovery timeline, but he said Porzingis is working diligently to get healthy.

“(His mindset is in a) great place,” Mazzulla told reporters after Sunday’s practice. “He’s working hard every single day to make as fast as a recovery as he can. He’s there for everything, and it can’t go underestimated how hard he works, trying to come back in a timely fashion.”

Porzingis averaged 20.1 points and 7.2 rebounds during the regular season, his first with Boston. He’s a difference-maker on both ends of the floor for the Celtics, but they’ve played well without him, going 26-5 in games Porzingis missed (5-1 in the playoffs).

Veteran Al Horford started all five games of the Eastern Conference semifinals in Porzingis’ absence. Horford was excellent in last Wednesday’s clincher, notching 22 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and three blocks to close out the Cavs.
