Malcolm Brogdon is a late scratch, as he is listed as out when his Indiana Pacers take on the New York Knicks. Brogdon is out with a sore right knee.
TJ McConnell will start at point guard in Brogdon’s absence. McConnell is a huge step down in scoring. Brogdon is second on the team with 21.4 points per game, compared to McConnell’s 5.9. That could mean bigger things from Domantas Sabonis, who is currently the team leader in scoring and has put up at least 22 points and 42.7 FanDuel Fantasy Points in four straight.
The Pacers are a pick’em against the Knicks with a total that has been bought down to 216.
