Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks Prediction

🔮 Expert Prediction

Here's the thing: you look at the records and think this is an open-and-shut case. The Knicks, sitting at 44-25, are playing for playoff seeding, while the Pacers, a dismal 15-53, are counting down the days until the lottery.

The key matchup to watch will be Jalen Brunson against Tyrese Haliburton. Brunson has been on an absolute tear, averaging 28.7 points and 6.8 assists in March. Haliburton, meanwhile, has been a bright spot for the Pacers, but he's not getting the consistent help needed to truly compete with a red-hot Knicks squad. New York has won six of their last seven, including a convincing victory over the Warriors, while Indiana has dropped eight straight.

Knicks win this one, 122-105.
