The New York Knicks (34-19) welcome in the Indiana Pacers (13-40) after winning five home games in a row. It begins at 7:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, February 10, 2026. The Knicks took care of business in their most recent matchup 111-89 against the Celtics on Sunday. The Pacers enter this contest after a 122-104 loss to the Raptors on Sunday. Jalen Brunson's team-leading 31 points led the Knicks in the victory. Pascal Siakam scored 18 points in the Pacers' loss, leading the team.
Trailing 68-65, New York's star big man picked up his fourth foul during a futile afternoon in which he was forced to guard Sixers star Joel Embiid for significant stretches just 1:36 into the third quarter. While Embiid scored 38 points with 11 rebounds, Robinson's second-half introduction turned the game on its head in the Knicks' favor. The visitors immediately went on a 25-9 run in which Robinson helped hold Embiid scoreless for that entire stretch.
NEW YORK -- Max Christie scored a season-high 26 points, Cooper Flagg had 18 in his first pro game at Madison Square Garden and the Dallas Mavericks rolled to a 114-97 victory Monday over the New York Knicks, who were booed frequently in the first half while falling behind by 30.

The Knicks entered the 2024-25 season with lofty aspirations after blockbuster trades to acquire Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. But nobody could have envisioned how their second-round playoff series against the defending champion Boston Celtics would play out. The Knicks overcame 20-point second-half deficits to win Games 1 and 2 in Boston, then erased a 14-point second-half deficit to win Game 4 at home. After the Knicks wrapped up the series with a 119-81 win in Game 6, thousands of reveling fans took over 7th Ave. and other streets surrounding Madison Square Garden for a raucous celebration. It marked the Knicks' first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000.
The Washington Wizards are being monitored ahead of the NBA trade deadline in February for a variety of reasons.

The Knicks took care of business first, defeating the Orlando Magic 132-120 after a stellar performance from guard Jalen Brunson. He dropped a season-high 40 points, plus eight assists. It marked Brunson's 19th 40-point performance as a Knick, the third most in franchise history, according to ESPN Research. Knicks coach Mike Brown said Brunson's performance is "what MVPs are supposed to do."
It was a blessing in disguise," Brown told ESPN Monday on the eve of New York's title game showdown against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. "I was open and honest. He hadn't played a lot in the preseason because he got hurt early on, so I didn't have a great feel for how to use him, when to use him, what his game was completely like.
