The Pacers (22-44) play the first of two road games starting with their annual visit to San Antonio to take on the Spurs (25-41).
From a scheduling standpoint, the patchwork Pacers have an advantage catching the Spurs the night after an emotional win over the Jazz. With the win, coach Gregg Popovic became the winningest coach in NBA history with 1,336 Ws to his name.
That’s where the advantages end for the Pacers, since the win also drew the Spurs within one game of the Pelicans and the 10th and final play-in spot in the West.
