The Indiana Pacers take on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.

The Pacers (15-16) head into Saturday's matchup in a bit of a modest skid, as they've dropped consecutive games. Indiana's most recent stumble came Friday night, when they dropped a 118-112 decision to the Boston Celtics. Domantas Sabonis led the way for the Pacers with 24 points, adding nine assists and six rebounds. Justin Holiday supplied 19 points, five boards, two assists, two blocks and one steal. Myles Turner generated a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double that also includes one assist, three blocks and one steal. Aaron Holiday poured in 15 points, while Malcolm Brogdon finished with 12 points, six rebounds and six assists.

The Pacers will likely list JaKarr Sampson (COVID-19 protocols) as no better than questionable for Saturday's game. T.J. Warren (foot) and Caris LeVert (kidney) will remain out.

The Knicks (16-17) check into Saturday's contest in the midst of a strong stretch of play, as they've prevailed in five of the last seven games. Their most recent success came at the expense of the Sacramento Kings, which they toppled by a 140-121 score Thursday night. Immanuel Quickley led the way for New York with 25 points, adding three assists, one rebound and two steals. Alec Burks supplied 24 points, four boards and two assists. Julius Randle generated a 21-point, 14-rebound double-double that also included four assists and one steal. Derrick Rose furnished 18 points, six assists and three rebounds. RJ Barrett delivered 12 points, three rebounds and three assists. Reggie Bullock poured in 10 points.

The Knicks will list Elfrid Payton (hamstring) as doubtful for Saturday's game.

Saturday's contest marks the third and final meeting between the teams this season. The series is split 1-1, with the Pacers notching a 121-107 win Dec. 23 and the Knicks countering with a 106-102 victory Jan. 2.
