There are two games in two different channels on Thursday's schedules as the New York Knicks host the Indiana Pacers and Golden State Warriors play the San Antonio Spurs. The home teams are in danger of getting eliminated from contention, so don't miss the live action. Here's where you can watch it on your television.

TNT- 8 p.m. ET
The Knicks have a chance to keep their season alive first. On the other hand, the Pacers have a chance to clinch their place in the Eastern Conference Finals. It will be a better matchup to watch, let's be honest. The Knicks are by no means in any condition to play against the Miami Heat. It's painful to watch the Knicks since they pretty much have nothing working for them. They are nowhere near the same Knicks team that won the first three games against the Boston Celtics and it shows in their record as they are 2-5 in their last seven playoff games.

The Pacers are stronger and more organized on offense. The Heat and Pacers would be the better matchup as that series could possibly go to seven games.

ESPN- 10:30 p.m. ET
The Warriors are up against the wall as they are down 3-2 in the series. Think about it, had the Warriors won Game 1, they could have been clinching this series at home against the Spurs. However, Stephen Curry is not the same guy that beat the Denver Nuggets. He's been inconsistent as the Spurs have been able to shut him down as of late.

The Spurs are trying to make their way to their second straight Western Conference Finals. Not that this is a prediction piece, but this series might over after Thursday night. As a matter of fact, if the Knicks don't play better basketball, both series will end today.

Tune into TNT and ESPN to watch both games. You can also stay with these two channels if you miss any of the action as they will be showing highlights from both games.
