After a brief home game against the Philadelphia 76ers which resulted in the Indiana Pacers nabbing their second straight win to improve to 6-8, the Blue and Gold head to the Big Apple for a meeting against the New York Knicks to kick off their three-game road trip.
While the Knicks currently have a middling win-loss card, New York’s firepower is undeniable. At their best, they can win against anybody, especially if their defense returns to form and their much-improved offense keeps humming at its usual level. On the flip side, the Pacers are playing at a different level recently, going 5-2 in their last seven after starting with a measly 1-6 record.
On the season, the Pacers are 2-6 on the road and 3-6 against the East while the Knicks are a surprising 2-4 at home and 6-6 against the East. Indiana defeated New York in their first meeting at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Pacers Injury Report
After tweaking his ankle a bit in the previous contest, Chris Duarte will be a game time decision against the Knicks. Isaiah Jackson (left knee) has been assigned to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants as he eases his way back from injury while TJ Warren (left foot) will remain out. No other players are in the injury report.
Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Knicks have no semblance of momentum after losing two straight contests, now flirting with a deadlock record after an impressive start to the season. Meanwhile, the Pacers are surging as of late, finishing their Western Conference road trip with a bang while getting the job done against a pesky 76ers team in their last outing.
While the popular opinion is high on New York in this one, I expect Indiana to claim another statement win on the road, turning some heads with a decent win at The Garden as they continue rising in the standings. They are simply a good matchup to limit what the Knicks can offer on both ends.
