The Indiana Pacers have been making a strong push in the standings this season, thanks to their impressive on-court performance. After a disappointing finish to the 2017-2018 season, the Pacers have bounced back in a big way, currently sitting at third in the Eastern Conference standings.
Led by All-Star guard Victor Oladipo, the Pacers have been playing some of their best basketball in recent memory. Oladipo has been a force on both ends of the court, averaging 23.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. He’s also been a defensive stalwart, leading the league in steals with 2.3 per game.
The Pacers have also been getting strong contributions from their supporting cast. Center Myles Turner has been a force in the paint, averaging 13.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. Forward Bojan Bogdanovic has been providing a spark off the bench, averaging 14.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.
The Pacers have also been getting strong play from their bench players. Backup point guard Cory Joseph has been a steady presence, averaging 7.3 points and 3.8 assists per game. Forward Domantas Sabonis has been a force off the bench, averaging 11.7 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.
The Pacers have been playing some of their best basketball of the season as of late, winning 8 of their last 10 games. With the playoffs just around the corner, the Pacers are poised to make a deep run if they can continue to play at this level. With strong contributions from all over the roster, the Pacers are looking like a team that could make some noise in the postseason.
