The Pacers face the Pistons at home on Wednesday night with the end of the NBA regular season exactly five weeks from tonight.
After surviving a rough segment of the schedule, the Pacers head down the home stretch remaining in playoff positions, currently sixth in the East, but with plenty of work left to be done to secure a post-season spot.
The Pistons are playing better of late and the Heat and Bucks have been surging for weeks now, poised to swipe a spot in the top eight in the East.
