The Indiana Pacers are riding a wave of momentum as they head into tonight's matchup against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena. Fresh off a commanding 140-112 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday, the Pacers hope to keep the good times rolling. Myles Turner led the charge against the Jazz with 26 points, seven rebounds, and an impressive six blocks, while Pascal Siakam contributed 22 points, five assists, and a strong defensive presence with four blocks and three steals. Tyrese Haliburton also made a significant impact, recording a double-double with 17 points and 11 assists. ​

This win marked Indiana's third consecutive victory and their ninth in the last eleven games, solidifying their hold on the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The Pacers' offense was firing on all cylinders, shooting an impressive 57.3% from the field and outscoring the Jazz 42-18 in the fourth quarter. Defensively, they tallied 17 blocks, tying the third-highest total in franchise history. 

On the other hand, the Denver Nuggets are looking to snap a three-game losing streak, having recently fallen 118-104 to the Golden State Warriors. Nikola Jokic continues to be a dominant force for Denver, posting 33 points, 12 rebounds, and nine assists in the loss.  The Nuggets are currently holding the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference and will be eager to return to their winning ways on their home court.​

This looks like it could be the Pacers last game outside the Midwest until the Conference Finals should they make it that far. Let's hope they don't let the jet lag get to them.
