UPDATE: Bruno's Inside the Game LIVE is up. T.J. and Danny are starting.
When the Knicks used to come to town in the the '90s, it was easy to think, time to buckle up because the game was going to be intense and tough for 48 minutes. Ten years later, you still need to buckle up for a Knicks visit but that's because of the pace both the Pacers and Knicks prefer to play these days.
The Knicks have won two in a row and five of their last six, so the Pacers will need their best effort to extend their home win streak to nine. Danny Granger will be a game-time decision and even if he plays, probably will run for limited minutes.
Here are the Pacers.com Matchups. T.J. Ford appears set to take over his starting position again.

Laser 3 from Granger
gets the scoring started from Pacers. Serious line drive.
So the Knicks center, Jared Jeffries has been guarding TJ Ford.
Only in America.
that's d'antoni's favorite gimmick.
jeffries has done work against rondo, nash, andre miller…everybody. it has its moments.
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
The ball is moving like a tennis game
Making my head hurt.
NYK up 67-55 at half
Knicks had 8 3s in the second quarter.
Better check on Q Richardson’s season high if this keeps up.
Knicks won the 2nd qtr...
maybe the Pacers will buck the trend and win the 3rd quarter. I’m off to wash dishes.
Lead at 12
Granger back out there to give it a go. Nice and 1. The guy has no lift though.
Wish Quisy was available.
Pacers refusing to get blown out though
at least so far
NYK up 99-87 after 3
Pacers lingering around, just doesn’t feel like they have enough for the Knicks tonight.
Hope I’m wrong.
5:47 left
NYK up 12 with 2 FTs coming to TJ.
If only Granger could muster up a couple of big minutes.
There's one Danny
Down to 8.
Granger was able to use some momentum from running to get enough juice on that 3-ball.
Last gasp.
Too bad
Let too many chances get away. Tons of opportunities and they just couldn’t get over that hump tonight. Nothing to do but get rested and ready for Minnesota.
