Hard to imagine a better homestand for the Brooklyn Nets, who wrapped it up on Friday night with a win over the Hawks. They now head to Indiana coming off a 6-1 homestand and look to keep the momentum going against the Pacers.
The Pacers have been one of the more pleasant surprises of this season. A team that most thought was going to continue their rebuild now sits just a half game behind the Nets in the Eastern Conference standings.
Indiana can score in bunches, as the Nets know. On night two of this back-to-back set, the Nets will be without pretty much everyone.
