The Pacers return to action on Monday night in Portland where they will wrap up their season series with the Blazers after absorbing a discouraging loss in Denver on Saturday to begin the their trip.
The Blazers at home have not been gracious host for the Pacers in the recent past which I guess, is not so recent since the last nine games at the Moda Center (or arena name at the time) have ended in a Pacers loss.
To make matters worse, the game will be televised nationally on ESPN which has been an even bigger problem for the Pacers this year.
