We're in for another NBA cup matchup tonight and guess what? The Pacers are favored by 6.5 points going into the game! Somehow, the Wizards are statistically worse than the Pacers, even though both teams have two wins on the year.
On the one hand, tonight is an opportunity to build some momentum after a string of close losses. But, honestly, that take feels delusional. The Pacers are not good and are not going to suddenly play their way back into the playoffs. No, tonight should be about pride. Losing at home to the Wizards is something this team simply cannot do and continue to hold their heads high.
I don't care who is playing. Even with Ben Sheppard starting in place of Nembhard, it's time to get a third win.
Injuries
Yes, Nembhard has been ruled out. However the team is keeping the possibility of him playing tomorrow alive.
