Indiana Pacers:
The Indiana Pacers are currently 13th in the east with a 12-18 record. They are coming off two losses in a row and will be at the end of back-to-back games on Thursday against the Pistons. The Indiana Pacers have a very good roaster. There have been a lot of rumors about them trying to trade Myles Turner, and Domantas Sabonis. There have been reports that tell that the Pacers are interested to trade for Ben Simmons. So there have been a lot of activities and talk off the court for the Pacers.
The Pacers have lost six out of their last 10 games. The Pacers are 13rd in offensive rating and 14th in defensive rating, but these numbers have not translated into wins. Why is that so? The Pacers are the worst team in the league this year in clutch performance. They have been involved in 17 clutch games and have won only 4 of those games. In the clutch moment, they have an offensive rating of just 94.5 and a defensive rating of 115.5.
The Pacers will be trying to play to their full potential against the Pistons. The Pacers must start winning in order to remain in the playoff race.
Detroit Pistons:
The Pistons are a very young team, they are currently rebuilding. The Pistons are currently last in the league. They have just won 4 games so far, and have lost 12 in a row. The Pistons will be without their best player Jerami Grant as he is projected to be out for at least six weeks with a thumb injury.
The Pistons will be looking to find some positives in 3-point shooting, they are shooting at 31.3% from three, second last in the league. Rebounding has not been their strong pursuit so far, they rank 28th in the league in rebounding. So the Pistons will try to address these issues.
The Pistons are a good free-throwing team, they are 11th in the league in free throw percentage, they are 9th in the league in Steals Per Game. So they will be trying to continue their good performance at the foul line and at stealing the ball.
The Pistons’ young players certainly have the potential to be great in the future, they will only get better as the season progresses.
