Indiana Pacers vs. New York Knicks key matchups:

With a few starters out for this matchup, there are some key matchups to watch out for:

Jalen Brunson vs. any Pacers PG

If Tyrese Haliburton is ruled out once again, Jalen Brunson's matchups at the point guard will be interesting as Andrew Nembhard has been holding on his own. This is going to be a deciding factor on how much the Pacers' guards can contain the production of Brunson.

Pascal Siakan vs. any Knicks frontcourt

Just like Jalen Brunson, Pascal Siakam should try to maximize the weaker frontcourt of the Knicks without Julius Randle. Former Raptors teammate Precious Achiuwa should guard him and it is a rare occasion for those to compete against each other on national TV in their careers.
