The Indiana Pacers currently have two solid winning streaks going: a four-game streak against the Dallas Mavericks and a five-game streak against the Washington Wizards. It will not be the be-all and end-all, but if Indiana can keep these streaks alive, it will help prove that they can still be competitive next season, despite many anticipating a gap year.
Interestingly enough, the Pacers will take on both teams back-to-back in February, according to their official schedule. While this will not be the first time Indiana faces either team during the season, it will still be a great test regardless.
