When the New York Knicks visit Indiana Pacers, AccuScore's simulation leans clearly toward the visitors. Karl Anthony Towns has a 50% chance of exceeding 34 points, rebounds and assists, while Pascal Siakam matches that projection for the home side at 31 combined, setting up a battle between the teams' primary creators. The game hinges on whether New York's perimeter depth—Jalen Brunson at 47% to surpass 34 combined, OG Anunoby at 47% for 25—can overwhelm Indiana's smaller margin for error.
