The New York Knicks (6-5) enter Friday’s NBA Cup group-stage matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against the Indiana Pacers (4-8) as clear favorites, driven primarily by a significant injury advantage. The Pacers are without star point guard Tyrese Haliburton (left hamstring strain) along with Ben Sheppard and Johnny Furphy, while Aaron Nesmith remains questionable with a sore knee; this has contributed to Indiana’s 2-6 record without its primary creator and a league-worst rebounding margin. New York, by contrast, reports a clean injury list featuring healthy contributions from Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and OG Anunoby, who have powered strong defensive efficiency and an 8.3 rebounding edge per game. The Knicks arrive off a short turnaround following a loss to Cleveland, yet their overall depth and recent form position them well in a contest where roster availability shapes market consensus more than recent head-to-head results.
