The Indiana Pacers rank first in the NBA in points per game, assists per game, and have the highest field goal percentage in the league at 50.7%. Myles Turner continues to have a career year and with how productive he’s been in the paint for them, he even garnered some All-Star talk for his improved play this season. They fell to this Knicks team just nine days ago on the back of a 40-piece from All-Star Jalen Brunson, but Tyrese Haliburton will have a say in the matter when they square off again.
