What you need to know about the Pacers
Offense wasn’t the issue in the Pacers last game on Friday; the defense let Indiana down in a 141-131 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Pacers shot 55.1% from the field and 39.4% from beyond the 3-point line, but Milwaukee took 10 more attempts in the game, and hit 41.9% of their 3-pointers to stay in front. Pacers center Myles Turner had a strong showing, finishing with 24 points, five rebounds and four blocks in the loss.
Buddy Hield was also productive, recording 22 points, five boards and three steals on an 8-for-13 shooting night. After a four-game funk from January 14 to January 20, Hield has been much more consistent over his last four starts. During that run, he averaged 21 points, 5.5 rebounds and hit 47.6% of his attempts from downtown.
What you need to know about the Grizzlies
Memphis’ current five-game losing streak started before center Steven Adams picked up a knee injury after the Grizzlies’ game against Phoenix last Sunday, but his absence has not made things any easier for them. Memphis dropped its last game on Friday to Minnesota, 111-100. Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant notched his fourth triple-double of the season with 27 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds.
Something that has failed the Grizzlies during their current swoon has been their 3-point shooting, which has been 31.1% over their last five outings. Over those five games, Dillon Brooks has only averaged 11.8 points per game and has shot an abysmal 27.6% from deep. He might be able to snap out of that on Sunday, however, as the Pacers have allowed opponents to hit 41% of their 3-point attempts over their last five contests.
