The Knicks! The Pacers! One of the NBA’s most epic rivalries!
Okay…maybe we’re thinking more about the Patrick Ewing, Reggie Miller, Mark Jackson, Spike Lee days. As much history as these two franchises have with one another, they don’t do much for the casual fans these days.
That doesn’t mean, however, that there aren’t star players to pique the interest of viewers across the Association.

Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers go as Paul George goes. His nickname is PG-13, but that dude is straight up rated R at times when it comes to what he does to opponents on both ends of the court.
In this contest against the Knicks, look for two things: How he takes advantage of Carmelo Anthony and how he defends him.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
On offense, George should have no problem scoring both on the perimeter and in transition. He is a dominant scorer in his own right, but Melo has reminded everyone this season of just how disinterested he is in participating on that side of the floor.
The even better news for George is that Anthony has seemingly lost interest in dominating offensively as well.
He doesn’t like playing in the triangle offense (nobody does), but what’s even more concerning is that he’s resorting back to an isolation scorer despite having guys like Kristaps Porzingis who would not only benefit from more looks, but can help the team as well.
Guys like Jeff Teague and Myles Turner will make their impact felt in this one as well against a poor defensive Knicks squad, but give George the advantage in his matchup.
New York Knicks
The New York Knicks have been a mess all season. To make matters worse, reports have already come out that Derrick Rose — the point guard they traded for this past offseason — would consider signing with the Milwaukee Bucks this summer.
Although in reality, that may be good news considering he’s also said he’s looking for a max contract.

Against Indy, it will be interesting to see how the Knicks handle the Melo-defense situation against George. Will they send extra help to double? Will they take Melo off of the Pacers star altogether for certain stretches?
Only time will tell…but the Knicks had better come up with Plans B and C.
