The Indiana Pacers (10-6) host the Minnesota Timberwolves (9-8) for their annual visit to Indy on Wednesday night.
With both teams riding strong winning streaks, something has to give. The Pacers have cashed in their last five games for Ws which has them sitting at 10-6 and in fourth place in the East.
After a slow and frustrating start, the Timberwolves have won four consecutive games to move above .500 in the West. Like the Pacers, relative good health has been part of the winning recipe for Minny, as their big front court with Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert seem to be adjusting to their overlapping roles around the rim.
