New York Knicks Could Be Without Key Starter Against Indiana Pacers cover image

The New York Knicks could be without OG Anunoby as they take on the Indiana Pacers.

The New York Knicks look to head into the All-Star break with some momentum as they take on the lowly Indiana Pacers. 

The Knicks bounced back from a beatdown by the Detroit Pistons with a 111-89 victory over the Boston Celtics on Super Bowl Sunday. They have won nine of their last ten and have two more games before the All-Star break. 

The Pacers lost 122-104 to the Toronto Raptors in their last game and have lost four straight as they sit at the bottom of the Central Division. They are on the third game of a six-game road trip. 

This is the second meeting of the season between the two teams. The Knicks won 114-113 on December 18. They'll play twice more this year on March 13 and March 17.
