The New York Knicks aim to bounce back in front of their home crowd on Saturday as they take on the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden.
After bolstering their roster in the off-season, the hosts had an early test of their championship potential against the reigning champions, the Boston Celtics, but suffered a heavy 132-109 loss at TD Garden on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the visitors have started their regular season with a 115-109 victory on the road over the Detroit Pistons. Indiana, who exceeded expectations last season by reaching both the Eastern Conference and In-Season finals, will be eager to start strong again with their core squad intact.

On the Pacers side, small forward Isaiah Jackson missed the recent victory over the Detroit Pistons due to a groin strain, but he could be fit for Saturday.
