Indiana vs Miami – it's a hot matchup these days. If the Pacers can channel the Cignetti Hoosiers, they might be able to parlay their first win in a month into a beat down of their opponent.

The win against Charlotte was meaningless from a standings perspective but important nonetheless. First, it broke the no good, very bad streak the team was on and hopefully injected a bit of positivity back into the locker room. Second, it was Rick Carlisle's 1000th victory as an NBA Head Coach. A well deserved feat for a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Miami are 4-2 over the last two weeks, playing very good basketball on both ends of the court. They did lose their last game against Minnesota but they've had three days of rest so they should be recharged tonight.

Injuries
