INDIANAPOLIS – From their sixth-ranked three-point shooting (38.9 percent), to their fifth-rated offensive efficiency (108.1 points per 100 possessions), to their top-10 pace of play, the Indiana Pacers represent an array of concerns for any defense. Those areas are among the challenges New Orleans will encounter Tuesday (6 p.m. Central), when the Pelicans (5-5) make their lone visit of the regular season to Bankers Life Fieldhouse, where Indiana (5-5) is averaging 108.5 points per game while going 3-1.
“I think it will be a good test for us,” said Pelicans forward Darius Miller, who was instrumental in New Orleans' back-to-back wins at Dallas and Chicago on the weekend.
