Before Tuesday afternoon’s game versus Indiana at Bankers Life Field House, the Pacers line up of Malcolm Brogdon, Caris LeVert, Edmond Sumner, and Oshae Brissett had an average of 81 points in their previous 5 games, including a 3 game winning streak leading up to the game, 29-31, second in the Central Division.
