*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Wednesday, January 31st. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, February 1st.
Indiana Pacers
With Tyrese Haliburton back the Pacers returned to their balanced scoring offense although he was on a minute watch. Indiana covered the spread although they failed to come away with the win.
A focus on defense may not be obvious but Rick Carlisle has his squad more dedicated to that end of the court and they are slowly but surely improving in that regard.
Pacers Stats
Indiana possesses the top-ranked offense (121.3) and while their defense ranks 26th (119.6) they are making more of an effort on that end of the court while their net differential of plus +1.7 registers 12th overall.
The Pacers began the season strong and are still a decent bet against the spread with a 27-19-3 record through 49 matches.
Pacers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- T.J. McConnell, PG (questionable— personal)
- Tyrese Haliburton, PG (questionable — hamstring)
- Jalen Smith, PF (questionable — back)
- Bennedict Mathurin, SF (questionable — toe)
New York Knicks
Julius Randle’s shoulder separation will keep him out for weeks which had the Knicks in a positive mood as it could have been months. The tricky part of that equation however is he is such a physical player that he’ll have to truly be close to 100 percent before returning.
Factor in Mitchell Robinson’s absence and now OG Anunoby also sidelined and the size Tom Thibodeau loves to play with is severely altered. That means Jalen Brunson will be tasked with more of the heavy lifting when it comes to scoring production.
Knicks Stats
New York ranks sevnth offensively (118.3) and have climbed to sixth defensively (111.9) while their net differential is plus +6.4 which ranks fourth overall.
The Knicks offer a strong option against the spread with a 29-18-1 record through 48 contests.
Knicks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Julius Randle, PF (OUT indefinitely— shoulder)
- OG Anunoby, SF (questionable— elbow)
- Quentin Grimes, AG (questionable— knee)
- Mitchell Robinson, C (OUT indefinitely — ankle)

Free Indiana Pacers vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction:
Indiana is 11-5 against the teams seeded above them in the Eastern Conference whereas the Knicks haven’t been as successful against that group with a 3-8 record.
Mind you most of those matches occurred before the trade but with Randle and Mitchell out while Anunoby is day-to-day this should be a match where the Pacers can steal a victory.
