The Indiana Pacers (25-31) are back home to begin a busy portion of the schedule when they host the Phoenix Suns (30-27) for their annual visit to Indy.
This will be the first of five games in seven days which includes four home games at the Fieldhouse for the Pacers. The timing of this matchup makes for some interesting circumstances. The Pacers are actually favored to win, which has been a rare occurrence all year, particularly of late during their current 2-13 stretch.
Speaking of favored, the Suns are currently in sixth place in the East but shot up to second in the odds to win the NBA title this year after acquiring Kevin Durant (and TJ Warren) at the trade deadline.
