New York Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers Preview

Jalen Brunson had another brilliant performance in Game 2, but the Knicks came up short. Coach Tom Thibodeau will reportedly make some changes to his starting lineup, with Mitchell Robinson getting the nod at center and Josh Hart likely coming off the bench.

On the other hand, the Pacers are not expected to make any changes to their starting five. Coach Rick Carlisle has gotten the most out of his depth in this series, so his starters like Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard look fresh in the fourth quarter.
