The Pacers are gritty with several in the rotation willing to sacrifice for the betterment of the team. That mindset finds Indiana ranking 10th in defense.
Indiana also aren’t afraid to do things their way as they run the slowest pace (97.58) in the Association and attempt the second fewest 3-pointers (22.7).

In spite of their diversion from the norm they are successful ranking fifth offensively. To wit, Indy rank first in perimeter percentage (44.6%) and second in field goal percent which means Indy focus on best opportunity shots.
No injuries to report for the Pacers.
New York Knicks
With cornerstone talent Kristaps Porzingis expected out til sometime next year the Knicks are in what could be best termed as a wait and see year. New Head Coach David Fizdale has the season to assess the talent on the roster and grow his youthful assets.
The latter being rookies Kevin Knox, Mitchell Robinson and the surprising Allonzo Trier. New York aren’t bereft of talent as Tim Hardaway Jr. and double-double constant Enes Kanter demonstrate. But, without Zinger it’s doubtful the season will result in anything other than a trip to the lottery.
This thinking is augmented by the squads placement in the key categories: offense (26th), defense (16th) and net (25th) rating.
