New York Knicks
The Knicks are bad again and it appears the the only unknowns about this season are what will happen with Kristaps Porzingis and how bad will the Knicks be, historically?
Nine Knicks teams have finished a season with a worse winning percentage than these Knicks currently have (.300 on the dot, by the way). Three of those nine have come since the 2005/2006 season and the worst of all-time was only four years ago in 2014/2015 when the Knicks won just seventeen games in eighty-two.

The Knicks have won just twice this month and both times they won by a single basket (over Milwaukee and Charlotte). Trey Burke, Damyean Dotson, Frank Ntilikina, Mitchell Robinson, Lance Thomas and Allonzo Trier are all either day-to-day and have recently missed games or just out for at least the next couple weeks.

All of those injuries are just a pileup on Kristaps Porzingis, who still doesn’t have a clear timetable for his return. At this point, the only purpose in bringing him back is to test the ACL and give him some time. He’s got just one year after this one left on his rookie deal.
Indiana Pacers
Indiana, meanwhile, is playing its best basketball of the season at the moment and Victor Oladipo has been there leading the way in the last two, two impressive wins over Milwaukee by sixteen and at Philadelphia by twelve.
Oladipo has played most minutes, about thirty a game, which isn’t necessarily a restriction but not full-boat either. He put up fourteen points and nine assists against Philly and twelve points, ten boards and six assists against the Bucks.

But the Pacers, more than anything else, must be confident after thriving without Oladipo. Their nineteen wins are the third-most in the NBA and their defense is ranked second.
The Pacers thrive by winning the turnover battle. They turn it over at a rate that ranks toward the bottom (in a good way) in the NBA (24th); they force them the fourth-most of all the thirty teams, though. Smart players, unselfish play and good coaching, all wrapped into one, are to thank for that.
