Previous: 11th. Indiana Pacers. 10. team. 100. . 31-18

Indiana Pacers:

Offense: (110.1) 15th
Defense: (107.3) tied 8th
Net: (plus +2.8) tied 11th

 
Results Week 15: ( 1-1) Won vs. Bulls: 115-106 (OT), Lost to Knicks: 85-92
Games Week 16: (4 games) Mon vs Mavericks | Weds at Raptors | Fri vs Raptors | Sat vs Pelicans

Victor Oladipo made his return to the hardwood and while he’s still showing signs of rust this team sure looks like they’ll be a factor come April.

You can bet none of the top East clubs want to meet them in round one since they offer solid two-way play. Their ability to adapt is compelling. In the last meeting versus the Raptors, they hit repeatedly from the perimeter (which Toronto left open given their ranking from deep).

This coming week they’ll face the team from the 6ix in a home and home series and are the toughest team the Raptors will face in week 16 (and for several games after).  That means they’ll get two shots to end the win streak the Raptors are currently on.
