New York likely won’t have starting forward OG Anunoby (foot) on Tuesday, while they still await the return of big man Mitchell Robinson (ankle). However, Josh Hart (knee) is probably against the Pacers.

Indiana is dealing with a big injury up front. Myles Turner (neck) missed the team’s 124-117 loss to the Lakers, and is questionable to return against the Knicks.

NYK vs IND Player Props

NBA player props from FanDuel Sportsbook on February 11.

No surprise that New York’s all-star tandem of Jalen Brunson (28.5) and Karl-Anthony Towns (24.5) boast the two-highest scoring props in this matchup. Towns is coming off his worst game as a Knick, scoring nine points on 3-for-8 shooting in a 131-104 blowout loss to the Celtics.

Pascal Siakam is the only Pacers’ player in the 20s, with a scoring prop set at 21.5 points. Tyrese Haliburton has the highest assist total at 8.5, just a dime more than Brunson.

Towns has the top rebound total at 13.5, with teammates Josh Hart and Precious Achiuwa in at 9.5 rebounds.

New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

• Knicks vs Pacers pick: Knicks -1.5 (-115)
• Knicks vs Pacers pick prop bet: Towns Over 24.5 points (-108)

New York has beaten up on the weaker teams in the league, piling up an impressive 23-6 record against teams below .500.

However, they are just 11-12 against teams with a winning record, one of only two teams in the East’s Top 6 with a losing record in that category.

They were dead in the water against the Celtics, allowing the defending champs to shoot 54.1% from the field, and a crushing 19-for-39 from 3-point range, a 48.7% clip.

While it is concerning, New York suffered just its second loss in the last nine, and are still a comfortable 4.5 games ahead of the Pacers in the East.

Indiana presents a good challenge, though, as they’ve ripped off 19 wins over the last 26 to move into a Top 4 spot in the conference. The Pacers are coming off a setback, though, a disheartening loss to the Lakers who were missing both LeBron James and Luka Doncic.

They return from a Western road trip that could have been so much stronger than 2-2, but the team struggled out of the blocks, trailing in the first quarter in every contest. The Knicks have won the first half in each of their last six road games.

If Turner isn’t able to go, the Pacers frontcourt players like Thomas Bryant and Obi Toppin will be in tough against the all-star Towns, who has knack for bouncing back from poor performances. Towns has scored sub 20 points in 15 games this season. Just twice has he followed it up with another scoring effort in the teens. In the other 13 instances, he’s scored at least 22 points.

A motivated Towns should help New York score inside at will — they’re a a top-five team in paint points, dropping 53.6 per contest, while the Pacers allow the seventh-most at 50.5 per game. The Knicks also boast a 14-3 record straight up following a loss, which ranks Top 3 in the NBA. Indiana is 10-11-1 against the spread as the home team, and 1-4-0 ATS in its last five.

The New York Knicks will face off against the Indiana Pacers on February 11th in what is sure to be an exciting matchup. Both teams have been playing well recently, with the Knicks currently sitting at 11th place in the Eastern Conference and the Pacers at 9th place.

The odds for this game are currently favoring the Pacers, with most sportsbooks giving them a slight edge. However, the Knicks have been playing some of their best basketball of the season lately, so this game could really go either way.

In terms of predictions, it’s tough to say who will come out on top. The Pacers have a strong roster led by Domantas Sabonis and Malcolm Brogdon, while the Knicks have been getting solid contributions from Julius Randle and RJ Barrett. It could come down to which team is able to execute their game plan better on the night.

As for player props, there are a few options to consider. Julius Randle has been a consistent performer for the Knicks this season, so he could be a good bet to score over a certain number of points. Domantas Sabonis is always a threat to put up a double-double, so that could be another prop to look out for.

Overall, this game should be a close one with both teams fighting for a crucial win in the playoff race. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out on February 11th.
