The New York Knicks will play their final away game before the All-Star break on Tuesday when they travel to Indiana to play the Pacers. New York is 1-1 against Indiana this season, last playing the Pacers on Nov. 10.
Both teams are coming off losses. New York lost to Boston on Saturday, 131-104. Karl-Anthony Towns had one of his worst games of the season, finishing with nine points (3-of-8) and nine rebounds. Jalen Brunson scored a team-high 36 points (10-of-18), four less than Jayson Tatum's 40 points.
The Pacers lost to a Lakers team without LeBron James and Luka Doncic on Saturday. Pascal Siakam, who was named an All-Star reserve, scored a team-high 23 points on 6-of-15 shooting. Tyrese Haliburton shot 7-of-15 for 19 points.
Indiana sits four and a half games back from New York in the Eastern Conference standings, putting an even brighter spotlight on the matchup. It's not that the Knicks need extra fuel to beat the Pacers (especially after the 2024 playoffs), but Saturday's abysmal performance should motivate them to leave Indianapolis with a win.
