Pacers vs. Knicks Prediction
When it comes to offense, the Pacers have consistently looked solid, averaging 115.6 points per game. Tyrese Haliburton has been leading the offensive charge, scoring an average of 20.3 points per game. It's on the defensive end of the court where the Indiana outfit have frequently come undone. They've also got a variety of player health issues to worry about ahead of tonight.
The Knicks, meanwhile, successfully bounced back from last month's rough five-game losing skid. Even with the recent Bucks defeat, the New York outfit are looking strong at the moment. Julius Randle is the team's offensive MVP this season, averaging a commendable 24.4 points per game. Defensively, the Knicks have had similar issues to the Pacers but boast slightly better stats and are surrendering less points on average.
The Pacers are 8-11 on the road this season. This bodes very well for the Knicks, who should be able to put the home-court advantage to good use tonight and resume their winning ways.
Prediction: Knicks -4.5 (-115)
