The Indiana Pacers (25-32) play their last road game before the All-Star break when they visit the Washington Wizards (25-29) on Saturday night.
The Pacers opened the season with a loss to the Wizards but have since beat the Wiz twice, so they can also win the season series with a W at Cap One Arena. Both teams have traveled bumpy, inconsistent roads since that opener but the paths have not been similar despite the fact that the Pacers are just 1.5 games behind the Wiz in the standings.
The Pacers have lost 14 of their last 16 games, sliding out of a play-in spot in the East to the sixth worst record in the league.
