Tomorrow we will see the game 3, let's see if they can still handle the Pacers without OG who had a huge contribution in the game 2 win before he got injured. And as per report, there's even a possibility that Bruson might not play as he was lited as questionable.
It will be a very hard task for Knicks to beat Pacers without OG and Brunson not only because of the home court advantage of Pacers but also they are already in close match when Knicks has strong line-up with the 2 players is active. I doubt that the current Knicks without Brunson can beat a solid Pacers.
I think Knicks will still face a difficulty beating Pacers in home court even with OG and Brunson in the court so I think they might use game 3 and 4 for regrouping then focus on the remaining games until their starters come back.
I’m late to response here but my prediction went well about Knicks can’t keep up with Pacers even with Brunson available and OG is the only one missing. Pacers was lead by Hali properly that creates a lot of opening and at the same time score for himself.
Knicks have a good run despite OG absence since DiVincenzo step up and cover for OG yet they fall short since Pacers is too consistent until the end while the Knicks is just too tired for keeping up with Pacers phase.
OG will still out for tonight’s match. I’m expecting that this series will be even.
I laid off betting this game thankfully. Knicks are just too hurt to keep up here. Can't expect to start precious achuiwa with no one else behind him. Losing mitch, julius and now OG is just too much front court loss. Shame because they had a great year. Health always drives this part of the year unfortunately.
