The Pacers host the Miami Heat on Sunday evening in an important matchup for two teams battling for playoff positioning with a month left in the NBA regular season.
The Pacers had a rough night off on Saturday after losing to the Bucks on Friday night, as the results of other games put the sixth spot in the East — where the Pacers reside on Sunday afternoon — in jeopardy should they add another loss by the end of the night.
In fact, with a loss the Pacers would be pushed to the edge of falling out of the top eight in the East.
