Pre-Game News and Notes
The Knicks will look to get back into the win column
Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers after a lackluster performance Tuesday
against the Charlotte Bobcats. The Knicks will have their hands full against
the top seeded team in the Eastern Conference, as the Pacers currently hold a
30-7 record. The Knicks looked tired against the Bobcats and cannot afford to
come out with the same energy against the Pacers or they will be blown out of
the gym. The Knicks usually get up for games against top teams, evident by the
start to 2014 they have had. Here are some things to keep an eye on during the
game.
-Player News and Notes
Tyson Chandler was limited to only 16 minutes in Tuesday
night’s loss in his first game back from an upper respiratory infection. He
will have to give the Knicks more tonight against a very talented and deep
front line the Pacers deploy. Pablo Prigioni still is in street clothes and his
return is unknown. The Pacers have no reported injuries and will have their
full compliment of players tonight.
