Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers have struggled this season, currently below .500 after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals last year. Despite leading by 19 points in a recent game against Memphis, they ended up losing. Point guard Andrew Nembhard returned after missing 14 games due to a knee injury. The team ranks in the top 10 in scoring but faces challenges on the defensive end, ranking low in scoring defense and field goal shooting. Key injuries include Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, and Ben Sheppard. In terms of percentages, the Pacers rank favorably in field goal and free throw shooting but struggle defensively in allowing points. Overall, the team is ranked 25th in power rankings and 10th in offense, with room for improvement defensively.
