The 2-1 Indiana Pacers will face their first difficult road trip of the new season in Week 2 as they travel to the Western Conference to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves and the San Antonio Spurs. Then, they return East to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at The Q.
All three of these teams had some pretty high profile, dramatic summers as their biggest stars were all in the national media almost nonstop, demanding trades or signing contracts elsewhere.
Collectively, these opponents are below .500 on the season, but don’t let that give you any false hope for just how tough some of these matchups could prove to be.
