The Knicks’ opportunity to make a deep run feels uncertain, especially considering they might not find themselves back in this position again. Still, they hold home court advantage, are healthy, and are driven to avenge their loss against this team from last season.

We’re in for another intense playoff series between the Knicks and Pacers. New York has been closing out games skillfully with Brunson’s isolations, while the Pacers aim to tire them out over the series.
It’s interesting to see if Mikal Bridges can contain Tyrese Haliburton effectively. But will the Knicks’ offensive strategy keep pace with Indiana’s relentless drive?

Last year, the Knicks were a stronger team before injuries impacted their playoff performance. The Pacers have been on a roll lately, but the Knicks arguably have more talent, especially after eliminating the Celtics, which should boost their confidence.
Brunson has had a year to reflect on last season’s series, which may fuel his performance.
