KEY GAME INFORMATION
NEW YORK: GUARDS: A huge upgrade over Raymond Felton, JOSE CALDERON's shooting and low turnover rate make him a good fit in the triangle offense. Defense will be an issue . . . His shot selection will always be laughable, but J.R. SMITH will still have the occasional blow-up game . . . IMAN SHUMPERT never looked right last season. He won't get bumped from the rotation, but he's in danger of getting just part-time minutes . . . He'll defend, and if his strong shooting as a rookie wasn't a fluke, TIM HARDAWAY JR. will push his way into the starting five . . . PABLO PRIGIONI is a poor man's Calderon . . . SHANE LARKIN has some long-term upside, but is unlikely to contribute this season. FORWARDS: The triangle offense should play to CARMELO ANTHONY's strengths and open things up a bit more than the iso-heavy system they ran under Mike Woodson. He'll be in the running for another scoring title . . . It's another year of ANDREA BARGNANI. The Knicks are too thin to not play him, but his defense is atrocious and he hasn't shot it well in years . . . AMAR'E STOUDEMIRE's monster deal expires after this season, and a trade is a possibility. In a best-case scenario, he can be effective for 20 minutes or so per night . . . Second-rounder CLEANTHONY EARLY has a chance to break into this rotation. He'll defend and pick up some hustle points . . . QUINCY ACY and TRAVIS OUTLAW will provide some much needed depth and energy for a team that can sometimes be lackadaisical on the court. CENTERS: With Tyson Chandler gone, it will be up to SAMUEL DALEMBERT to pick up the defensive slack. He's a capable rim protector and could be in for as much playing time as he's gotten in years . . . JASON SMITH is another defensive-minded big man. He's good in space but is not a polished shot blocker . . . COLE ALDRICH was good enough late last season to earn a bench spot in the 2014-15 campaign.
INDIANA: GUARDS: Indy couldn't find an upgrade on GEORGE HILL this offseason, and losing Lance Stephenson and Paul George means Hill will have to play a more traditional ball-handling role this year . . . RODNEY STUCKEY's combo-guard skills probably make him the best fit alongside Hill. Whether he's up to the task defensively will decide whether he's a full-time player or a time-share guy . . . C.J. MILES will help fill the need for perimeter shooting, especially with Paul George out . . . They have a solid veteran back-up in C.J. WATSON. He's the closest thing to a pure point guard on this roster, and is a bigger need for the second unit than the starting five. FORWARDS: PAUL GEORGE was poised for an MVP run, but he'll now miss the season after a compound leg fracture during Team USA practice. He's no guarantee to ever return at full strength . . . DAVID WEST's floor-spacing, mid-range game is key in this system . . . He was a dud in his first season with the Pacers, but Indy might have no choice but to plug LUIS SCOLA into their thin frontcourt rotation . . . DAMJAN RUDEZ is a stretch-4 with three-point range. He could push Scola for a rotation spot . . . The Pacers are hoping SOLOMON HILL is ready to be a second-unit glue guy . . . LAVOY ALLEN brings size and opposable thumbs . . . They seemingly have little use for CHRIS COPELAND after signing Rudez. CENTERS: As strange as it seems, ROY HIBBERT might benefit most from the departure of Lance Stephenson. The big man was referring to Stephenson when he talked about selfish play. Of course, Hibbert's atrocious performance late last season is a problem in and of itself . . . IAN MAHINMI has size and six fouls to give.

*Knicks-Pacers Preview* =======================

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer

New York (12-46) at Indiana (25-34), 7:00 p.m. EDT

As speculation keeps building regarding Paul George's return, the Indiana Pacers are aiming to position themselves for a potential postseason run once their star forward arrives.

The nearly healthy Pacers will resume a favorable portion of the schedule seeking their ninth victory in 11 games Wednesday night when they host the league-worst New York Knicks.

After months of rehab since a gruesome leg injury in August, George began practicing in full last week - three days ahead of his self-imposed March 1 deadline. The Pacers (25-34) also have altered their initial plan of holding him out for the season and the two-time All-Star has even suggested a mid-March return may be possible.

Coach Frank Vogel, however, said there's still no timetable for his return and told the team's official Twitter account that he's "got a long way to go before he gets cleared to play."

With optimism on the rise surrounding George, Vogel's club is playing its best basketball with the roster nearly mended. The Pacers went 7-2 in February and opened this month with a 94-74 home win over Philadelphia on Sunday to pull within one-half game of the Eastern Conference's final playoff spot.

"We had the mindset that we had to weather the storm early through all the injuries that we had early on in the season and try to get better each month," Vogel said. "We had a strong month of February and we've got to build on that."

George Hill had 17 points and nine rebounds against the 76ers, while Roy Hibbert added 14 and 15. Hill had his first career triple-double with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists in Friday's 93-86 home win over Cleveland.

Indiana, one of the NBA's top defensive clubs at 96.7 points allowed per game, has limited opponents to 80.0 points on 35.2 percent shooting - including a 26.4 mark from 3-point range - in winning its last two.

The Pacers will try to continue that effort as they face the Knicks both home and away and take on injury-ravaged Chicago, Orlando, Milwaukee and Boston in Indianapolis over the next six games.

New York (12-47) sought to match its season high with a third straight victory before shooting 36.6 percent in Tuesday's 124-86 home loss to Sacramento that marked its worst defeat of the season.

"The most disappointing part is not necessarily losing the game, but just the way collectively as a group we couldn't find a way to compete," said coach Derek Fisher.

Alexey Shved finished with a team-high 15 points, and Jason Smith and Shane Larkin had 13 each for New York, which is hoping to bounce back with its first back-to-back road wins of the season.

The Knicks are allowing opponents to shoot a league-high 38.8 percent from 3-point range after letting the Kings hit 10 of 18. The Pacers, though, aren't much of a threat from the beyond the arc, going 3 for 18 versus Philadelphia.

Indiana has won eight straight home meetings by an average of 15.6 points, including three in the 2013 playoffs. The Pacers shot 53.2 percent en route to a 103-82 victory there Jan. 29 in the only meeting this season.

Rodney Stuckey, averaging a team-high 15.5 points since Feb. 1, led the way with 22 in that contest and Hibbert added 18 points and 10 rebounds. Former Indiana forward Lou Amundson scored 17 for the Knicks.

The former heated rivals will meet again at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
