Will Furr: Fact. I have predicted 48 wins. The fact that the Pacers are likely starting four above-average NBA players alongside Paul George — and the fact that they actually have NBA players on the bench — makes the Pacers floor relatively high. The fit of the pieces appears highly questionable, and the Pacers will be relying heavily on Myles Turner, but it’s hard to see this group falling too far below this mark.
Jay Neal: Fact. This is a better offensive team than in previous years with more weapons and a variety of ways to score.
