Life without Victor Oladipo isn’t easy, but the Indiana Pacers managed an 8-4 record since their star player went down in a game with the Atlanta Hawks. At 17-10, the Pacers are holding in fourth place in the Eastern Conference while sitting four games out of first place.
The fact the Pacers have a winning record without Oladipo is a huge accomplishment compared to their 0-7 record without him a season ago. But more than that, they haven’t just survived, the change to the lineups allowed some players to flourish.
Without their All-Star guard, the Pacers learned how to get more out of at least four of their players.
