What to expect from today's NBA games? 

The Lakers are getting healthy at the right time. They are 3-7 in their last ten games, which showed the struggle without the NBA”s all-time leading scorer in the lineup.

Forward Rai Hachimura also returned after a month off with a knee injury. He’s a power forward averaging 13 points and five rebounds per game. The question now is whether they can find a rhythm in the few games remaining with Luka Doncic, who is averaging 28.6 ppg and 7 rebounds.

The Indiana Pacers are currently a comfortable fourth seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs, and they are 7-3 in the last ten. They are led by point guard Tyrese Haliburton, a deft passer who contributes 18.5 ppg. He’s backed by rim protector Myles Turner and power forward Pascal Siakam,the latter the second scoring option after Haliburton. 

The game starts at 7:30 p.m (ET) at Gainsbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, and will be televised on ESPN and streamed via YouTube TV. The Pacers are a heavy favorite at -158 and giving 4.5 points.

The New York Knicks hope to get back on solid footing in their game against the Los Angeles Clippers, The Knicks are 4-6 in their last ten games, a reflection of the malaise after losing all-star point guard Jalen Brunson to an ankle sprain, and backup Mike McBride has also been out of the lineup. 

That leaves Cam Payne running the team, but the cupboard isn’t bare with Knicks all-star center Karl-Anthony Towns scoring at 23.1 ppg.

For the Clippers, guard James Harden averages 8.7 assists and dishes to the likes of forward Norman Powell (22.7 ppg) and Kawhi Leonard (19.0). The Clippers beat the Knicks earlier this month at home, but should have a tougher time at Madison Square Garden, where the game starts at 7:30 p.m. (ET). 

Early indicators have the Knicks as a slight favorite, given the home court, and don’t expect any major moves.
