Heading into the game with their record at 11-18, the reeling Wolves, who have lost ten of their last thirteen games, need a win to get back some of their confidence and swagger. It won’t be easy, however, as they’ll be taking on one of the Eastern Conference’s premier teams in the Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers actually sit at seventh in the East on the heels of a three-game losing streak, but at 16-12 this year, they’re one of the most dangerous teams in their conference. Led by MVP candidate and probable Comeback Player of the Year Paul George, the Pacers have an enormous amount of talent that Sam Mitchell is going to have a tough time game-planning around.
