Indiana Pacers        

The pacers step into this evening’s matchup sporting a 32-17 record that ranks them 2^nd in the Central Division. And in the Eastern Conference, Indiana is ranked 3^rd overall. Obviously the absence of Oladipo has been a major hindrance for the club, but they’re still doing a good job of staying alive in the playoff race. Although they enter tonight’s matchup riding a 2 game losing streak, Indiana should be able to handle themselves against the struggling Wizards. Although Washington comes in with a healthy squad, they still are no match for Indiana’s stout defense. Right now the Wizards are scoring 112.8 per game, which beats out the 108.7 that Indiana is putting up. However, defensively Indiana is much better off. In fact, they only give up 103.8 to the whopping 115.9 that the Wizards allot.

Players to Watch: Victor Oladipo (18.8 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 5.2 apg), Bojan Bogdanovic (16.0 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 1.7 apg), and Domantas Sabonis (14.7 ppg, 9.41 rpg, 2.8 apg).

Washington Wizards 

The Wizards whiz their way into this evening’s Eastern Conference matchup sporting a 21-29 record. That low-ball record ranks Washington 3^rd in the Southeast Division but 10^th overall in the conference. Since they’re a whopping 15.5 games behind the conference leading Bucks, it’s clear Washington won’t be climbing the conference ladder anytime soon. However, they can at least try to bridge the 2 ½ game gap between them and the 8^th seeded Charlotte Hornets. Albeit, it’s likely they won’t get any ground covered in that department tonight. It should be mentioned that Washington is 5-5 in their last 10 versus Indiana, so there’s no precedent to how tonight’s matchup will turn out.

Players to Watch: Bradley Beal (24.7 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 5.1 apg), John Wall (20.7 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 8.7 apg), and Trevor Ariza (15.1 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 4.3 apg).
