Indiana Pacers

Offense: (106.0 ) -20th
Defense: (103.4) –  8th
Net: (plus +2.6 ) – 13th

Record: 7-6
Games Week 4: (1-2) Wins vs. Thunder, lost to Rockets, Bucks
Games Week 5 (2 games): Mon, Nov. 18 vs. Nets |  Sat, Nov 23 vs. Magic

While the Pacers haven’t delivered a definitive statement win YET – the difference with Indiana versus teams like the Rockets and Clippers is they do have the majority of their core and superstars playing.

Watch for this team to start making noise when everyone is healthy and I can’t say it enough – the Malcolm BrogdonVictor Oladipo back court is going to wreak havoc on their opponents.

As per usual the Pacers are humming on the defensive end of the hardwood but are still struggling to find consistency on the offensive side of the court. That too will change once Oladipo returns which could be as soon as next month.
