Pascal Siakam has been called for 3.3 personal fouls per game over the last 10 games, 0.8 higher than he's been called for in all games this year.This year when they are the visiting team, the opposing team's starting PFs have averaged 18.6% on three-pointers (worst in the league) vs. the Knicks, resulting in a hard matchup.The New York Knicks have played at the 3rd-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 10 games on their home court, which should lead to fewer opportunities for the Indiana Pacers.The Indiana Pacers rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate additional opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are away from home, the opposition's starting PFs have attempted 2.6 foul shots per game (5th-lowest in the NBA) against the New York Knicks, making it tough to get to the charity stripe.
