The Pacers came back down to earth last game in their loss against the Raptors. Fortunately, they have a chance to make up for it tonight in New Orleans.
As we all know from our constant standings watching, the Pelicans are one of the few teams that could conceivably end the year with a worse record than the Pacers. Unfortunately for them, they sent their pick to Atlanta in exchange for the rights to Derick Queen.
For all their ineptitude, New Orleans is coming off a win in their last game against the Nets.
The game charts are especially frigid today, as you'd expect.
