The Pacers are back home to face the Blazers and put their three-game winning streak to the test against a Portland team that has struggled of late but should be fully engaged to end their current five-game losing streak.
The Blazers added noted Pacers killer, Norman Powell at the trade deadline but have hit a rough stretch recently while wading through a tough stretch of the schedule. The Pacers on the other hand have won three straight with wins over the two worst teams in the East and OKC who has been masquerading as the worst team in the West of late despite being ahead of two teams in the standings.
