Team form
Knicks: Thibodeau's team has played a strong season with the acquisition of OG Anunoby through a trade, and the Knicks' defensive performance has improved the Knicks' defensive efficiency, and Brunson's performance this season has been even more remarkable, averaging 26 per game so far this season8 points 65 assists, he made up for the Knicks' offensive shortcomings in previous seasons, before the Knicks were a team that led the offense with defense, and after Brunson joined, the team was more balanced Even if it fell into a positional battle, Brunson could solve the problem of the Knicks' offensive shortcomings, and DiVincenzo has also shown good form this season, and the Knicks have an average defensive efficiency of 111 per game9 ranks 6th in the league and averages 12 offensive rebounds per game4 is ranked 3rd in the league and can be a spoiler in the playoffs this season.
Pacers: With the rise of Haliburton, the Pacers are slowly coming back into the attention of fans, Carlisle is a coach who advocates offense to win games, and the Pacers have a mercury offensive performance, and their offensive efficiency per game is as high as 1213 ranks 1st in the league, and the Pacers are also a well-known three-point team, with an average three-point shooting rate of 38% per game, ranking 4th in the league, with Siakam's joining the Pacers to improve their combat power, and we think Siakam is suitable as the team's second leader, Siakam and Turner's interior line, which suddenly made the Pacers' interior line stand up, and the Pacers can still become a dark horse team in the league this season.
This game starts from the fundamentals of the two teams, this is an offensive and defensive battle, the Knicks' defense is more stable, and the Pacers have their own advantages on the offensive end, the winner lies in whether the two teams can continue the state well, Haliburton can play is also a key factor, from the perspective of the match, the Pacers currently maintain a 2-game winning streak for the Knicks, and the Pacers know how to win the Knicks psychologically, although the recent state of the Pacers is not as stable as the Knicks, But their hard power is really not weaker than the Knicks, Siakam and Turner's interior line is still a big advantage compared to the lack of Randle's Knicks interior lineThe Knicks' recent hot form will also increase the attention of the outside world, so we will back the Pacers to take away the victory in this game.
