The Pistons (42-34) already have clinched their first playoff spot since 2018-19, after tripling their win total of 14 games from last season. They can officially have a playoff spot if the Orlando Magic lose at Washington tonight, or another loss in the Magic's remaining five games.

Indiana has the 10th-ranked offense and 16th-ranked defense this season. Since Jan. 1, Indiana’s offense ranks seventh and its defense ranks 13th, both better than New York. Still, the Knicks are 2-1 against the Pacers. Indiana didn’t have Myles Turner in one of its losses, though, and New York didn’t have OG Anunoby in that game.
