Pacers vs. Cavs: The Rematch!

The Indiana Pacers are riding high with six straight wins to start the new calendar year. But they face a tough test at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Donovan Mitchell and his crew are coming off a recent loss to these very Pacers, and you better believe they’re looking for revenge tonight. Since the start of the season, only Atlanta has managed to hand Cleveland back-to-back losses, and that was back in late October.

And Also…

• The Sixers will still be without Joel Embiid. Hosting the Thunder isn’t ideal under these circumstances.
• The Suns are slowly finding their rhythm, and a road game in Atlanta is a key test to keep that momentum going.
• The Kings boast the hottest streak in the league with seven consecutive wins—can Giannis Antetokounmpo put an end to that?
• Zach LaVine is on a scoring tear, looking to make it seven straight games over 30 points against the Pelicans.
• Kyrie Irving is nearing a return in Dallas, which could set the stage for a fantastic showdown with Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.
• Blazers vs. Nets could be a game of interest for Cooper Flagg, who might be sizing up his next destination for next season.

French Players in Action

• Guerschon Yabusele will once again take on the role of center for the Sixers.
• Could we see Ousmane Dieng get some minutes with OKC?
• What about Rayan Rupert for the Blazers?
