Indiana Pacers Analysis
The Indiana Pacers have been on a roll as of late, winning three of their last five games with scores of 130 or more. Currently in 6th place in the Eastern Conference standings, their offence has been their strong suit, ranking 3rd in the NBA for offensive efficiency. Led by Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner, the Pacers boast eight players averaging 10 PPG or more, including Haliburton (25.4 PPG, 12.4 APG) and Turner (17.2 PPG, 7.5 RPG). Haliburton currently leads the NBA in assists, while Turner pulled off a 23-point, 10-rebound performance in their last game against the Pistons. Indiana plays fast, averaging 104.1 possessions per game—the highest in the league—but their defense is lacking, ranking 29th in efficiency.
