For the first time since their Eastern Conference semi-finals the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks will meet. Indy arrives on the heels of an opening night victory over the Pistons while the Knicks are still seeking their first win after getting anhilated by the Celtics.
Season Series
New York holds the all-time record having won 100 of the 195 meetings between the clubs. The Eastern Conference foes played three times last season with the Pacers taking two of the three contests.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Thursday, October 24th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, October 25th.
Indiana Pacers
There is no question about the Pacers’ identity, but the big question this season will be whether head coach Rick Carlisle can cajole his squad into playing some semblance of defense.
On opening night it wasn’t necessary as Indy drew the Pistons and were able to run and gun instead of worrying about the opponent’s offense. Although Myles Turner (20 points) led the scoring, Pascal Siakam flirted with a triple-double (19 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists).
And, Bennedict Mathurin returned from injury to drop a cool 19 points off the bench.

Pacers Stats
During the season, Indiana possessed the second-ranked offense (120.5) however, their defense lacked something to be desired as it ranked 24th (117.6) while their net differential of plus +2.9 registered 10th overall.
The Pacers began tlast season strong and remained one of the better bets against the spread with a 50-42-3 record through 95 matches.
Pacers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Isaiah Jackson, PF (questionable — groin)
- James Wiseman, C (OUT for season — Achilles)
New York Knicks
In his first official outing as a Knick, Karl-Anthony Towns looked a bit lost at times or disengaged. He scored 12 points on nine shots and grabbed seven boards.
He’ll need to be more aggressive in this matchup but in fairness, we should give him a few months to build chemistry with his new squad. Per usual Jalen Brunson led the way offensively while Miles McBride equalled his 22 point effort.
Knicks Stats
New York ranked tied for seventh offensively (117.3) and ninth defensively (112.4) while their net differential was plus +4.9 which ranked fifth overall last season.
With injuries to the core, the Knicks’ performance against the spread dipped but remained above .500 with a 50-43-1 record through 94 contests.
Knicks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jacob Toppin, SF (upgraded to probable — ankle)
- Precious Achiuwa, PF (downgraded to OUT — hamstring)
- Mitchell Robinson, C (OUT indefinitely — ankle)

Free NBA Prediction:
Allowing a historic amount of 3-pointers (39) isn’t likely to sit well with Thibs who’ll want his squad ready to defend out to the arc. Ironically, Indiana had a poor shooting night from deep and will look to improve that stat in the Mecca.
Although I’m partial to the Pacers style and feel the Knicks are best suited for post-season play the shellacking they took on Tuesday will have left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. That combined with losing to the Pacers in seven games is more than ample motivation for a bounce back effort.
Not to mention Knickerbocker fans will be stoked about the season given the upgrades the team made.
