UPDATE: Jalen Brunson is a game-time decision (h/t Fred Katz of The Athletic).
On Saturday evening, the New York Knicks will host Pascal Siakam and the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.
For the game, the Knicks could remain without one of their best players, as Jalen Brunson is on the injury report.

Brunson has played in 49 games and is averaging 27.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per contest while shooting 48.2% from the field and 41.1% from the three-point range.
The Knicks are the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 33-19 record in 52 games.
They are 8-2 over their last ten games but most recently lost to Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks by a score of 122-108.
Following the Mavs, the Knicks will travel to Texas for a showdown with the Houston Rockets on Monday evening.
As for the Pacers, they are the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 29-24 record in 53 games.
They are 5-5 over their last ten games and most recently lost to the Golden State Warriors by a score of 131-109.
