The Knicks want to avoid a repeat of last game's result - a 122-111 loss to Hawks - when they host the Pacers Saturday.
New York brings a 6-16 overall mark (1-2 in the division) into this game vs. an Indiana team carrying a 13-8 record.
New York gets its chance to prove the bookies wrong, who opened them as 2.5-point underdogs. They are 6-16, while the Pacers are 13-8. The total opened at 182.
The Pacers come off a 93-83 win against the Jazz, a game where they were a 7 point favorites. The game went over the closing total of 172.
New York's defence was ripped for 122 points last game by Atlanta's attack and Larry Brown must make adjustments to keep the Pacers in check and keep the scoreboard operator from stressing out too much.
