The Pacers (6-11) return home after a disheartening 0-3 road trip to play the Pelicans (3-14) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
While this is technically a back-to-back, the primary rotation players for the Pacers should be plenty rested after earning heavy bench time in the first two and a half quarters of the loss to Charlotte on Friday night.
The passionate, want-to, have-to effort has been missing over the last two games in particular and that has to show up which should help the generally poor execution against pressure that has plagued the Pacers. Adjustment to the offensive approach would certainly help as well, with fewer multi-dribble shot attempts and more passing and movement that doesn’t forget about Domas Sabonis, let alone Myles Turner.
