The Indiana Pacers (24-28) begin a three-game homestand after three days off when they host the Los Angeles Lakers (31-18) for their annual visit.
That means LeBron James is back in town for the time honored tradition and seeing if the NBA legend will actually play in front of the expected sell-out crowd at the Fieldhouse. James has been resting sporadically of late as he closes in on breaking Kareem Adbul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record and has been listed as questionable leading into the game. LBJ is 89 points from breaking the record, so despite the Pacers recent defensive woes, Jabbar’s mark is safe for at least one more game.
