The Pacers are in great shape
The Pacers enter the battle after a 7-point loss against the Los Angeles Lakers despite a 23-point performance by Pascal Siakam. They have lost two out of the last three games but a four-game winning streak before that has helped them hove around the 4th spot in the East. Their defense has been in terrific rhythm but it is their backcourt depth and the play of Pascal Siakam that gives them the cutting edge. Tyrese Haliburton’s play has declined a tad but guards Aaron Nembhard, Benedict Mathurin, and TJ McConnel bring different aspects of the game to make up for his reduced production.
The Knicks are brilliant but…
The Knicks come into this game after suffering a 27-point loss against the Boston Celtics despite a 36-point performance by Jalen Brunson. The loss broke a two-game winning streak but the team has won seven of their last nine games. The duo of Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns has been brilliant offensively. However, the Knicks must do a better job on the defensive end considering they have the services of Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby. Thus, as good as the Knicks are, there is some skepticism about their success in the postseason.

Key stats:
The Pacers have been in a great rhythm recently whereas the Knicks have also done well. Both teams have terrific offense and know when to pull the plug on defense. However, the Knicks need to do better against teams with +.500 records (15-12) but they can’t be underestimated regardless. I believe they will flip the script on the Pacers away from home and the total can go over 230 points.
