Preview

Tonight we have the Knicks traveling to Indiana to take on the Pacers. The Knicks have got off to a nice start to begin the year as Juliur Randle has been dominant to start the year. The Pacers have been struggling this season as they battle some injuries.

The Knicks come into this game with some Questionable tags on Nerleans Noel and Taj Gibson. Noel has yet to make his season debut. This Knicks team will look to pick up a win against an eastern conference foe in the Pacers that have been bleeding points to start the season.

The Pacers come into this game with some injuries as Malcolm Brogdon is listed as Questionable but says he will play, Jeremy Lamb is also out for this Pacers Sqaud. Key players Caris Levert saw an uptick in minutes last game so expect him to play around 25-30 minutes this time out. The Pacers will look to turn things aroudn when thehy take on the Knicks.

New York Knicks

The Knicks are in good form to begin the year as they have picked up where they left off last season and have been efficient on both ends of the floor. This team is led by Julius Randle who bounced back last game after a couple disappointing games prior. He will look to continue to run this team on both sides of the floor. The supporting cast is RJ Barrett, Mitchell Robinson,Kemba Walker, Evan Fournier, and Derek Rose are nice pieces that can playmake and score. Mitchell Robinson is a monster on the boards and is a shot blocker on the defensive end. If the Knicks can slow down Sabonis they could find success against this Pacers squad.

Indiana Pacers

The Pacers are off to a rough start to begin the season as they battle some injuries with TJ Warren still out and Levert working his way up to a full workload coming off injury. Malcolm Brogdon and Domantas Sabonis will be leading this team into battle everynight and stuff the stat sheet in all categories. The big piece here is Caris Levert as he is an abslute stud and once his minutes increase this Pacers team could turn things around. Myles Turner is always frustrating as his minute flucuate but he has had some big games of late when he gets the run, he is an elite shot blocker which could come in handy against this Knicks team. If the Pacers are at full strength they could pick up a win against this tough Knicks squad.

Prediction

I'll be looking to target the total in this one as I think Brogdon returns tonight and Levert gets an uptick in minutes which will result in more offense. This Knicks team will be able to score with this Pacers squad and I think this game is close the whole way.
