New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers
The Knicks go into this one with a 56% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the Indiana Pacers. Mike D’Antoni will be sure to keep an eye on the Indiana streak (W 1), but the key against Pacers will be containing Danny Granger, Troy Murphy and TJ Ford. The Knicks point differential is 0.7 this season (good for number 14 in the NBA), and better than the Indiana Pacers’s average losing margin of -0.6 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Pacers will need to play to their strengths and their 33.3 defensive rebounds per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 1st in the whole league in that area). Jim O’Brien’s team is 14-17 this season and today will hope to improve their 5-9 record away from Conseco Fieldhouse.
New York have been dominating their opponents this season in the 3 point field goals made departement, with a 2.8 3 point field goals made differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 9.1 3 point field goals made average per game is 1st in the NBA, and that will be an area that Jim O’Brien and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Knicks’ 8-7 home record.
