Madison Square Garden. Indiana is looking to finish off its first five-game road trip of the season with a winning record. T.J Warren leads all scorers with 14 points. Domantas Sabonis tallied 13 points on 5-of-5 shooting, while Aaron Holiday added nine as he got the start over Malcolm Brogdon. Brogdon is nursing a dislocated pinky finger he suffered in yesterday’s bout with the Detroit Pistons.
The Pacers struggled to keep New York out of the paint early in the first quarter. Rookie RJ Barrett drove right and found space for an emphatic right-handed dunk that pushed the Knicks' lead to 14-7 and forced Pacers head coach Nate McMillan to call an early timeout with 7:40 remaining in the period.
