The Pacers are on the road again for their second game of the preseason. This time they're a bit closer to home as they take on the Cavaliers in Cleveland.

The first game ended in a shock loss after the Hawks buried a last second three to steal a game that the Pacers had in hand for the majority of the contest.

Though the Pacers lost, I think we mostly saw what we expected from the group. The starters looked like a legit unit. You could sense their familiarity with each other, even with James Wiseman playing in Myles Turner's stead. Conversely, the bench struggled – but playing Obi Toppin as a de facto center was always going to be an uphill battle defensively.

Hopefully that second unit appears a bit more cohesive tonight. However, I don't expect the game itself to look like anything other than pre-season basketball, considering the Cavs are resting everyone who's anyone on their roster.

It's also the sign of a decidedly preseason affair that there are no local TV options to watch the game. I believe you'll need League Pass (or a good firewall and a shady streaming website) to watch the game live.
