The Brooklyn Nets and the Indiana Pacers are going at it on Saturday night and the NBA game is live from Bankers Life Fieldhouse and starts up at 7 pm and comes after the team lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Pacers just signed Andrew Bynum for the rest of the season and they are the top team in the eastern conference and a favorite for the finals right now.
The Pacers have been playing very well all season and they have been by far the most consistent team in the east and they are 35-10 on the year and come in after just their second loss at home this season against the Phoenix Suns. The team has the Orlando Magic next on the schedule and comes after Roy Hibbert and Paul George made the All-Star team and Lance Stephenson came close and now those names will be looking to make a splash on Saturday. Hobbert had 26 points last game while George added 12 rebounds and Stephenson had another solid game with 10 assists and he has been having a very fine season for the Pacers.
The team comes in with the best ranked defense in the league in points allowed with 90 allowed per game and they are sixth in rebounds per game with Hibbert and David West playing very well and now they have Bynum for the rest of the season and even if he doesn't do anything, it at least keeps him away from Miami. The Pacers are the top team in the east and the central division and the Nets have been playing much better and they are ranked 20th in the league in points per game with 98 points and now Paul George has the chance to show off at home after getting his All-Star nod.
The Nets come in ranked 13th in defense with over 100 points allowed per game and they are ranked 21st in the league in points per game and now they play the Pacers before heading into a home matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers at the Barclays Center. The Thunder game was a tough matchup and now the Nets will be looking to try and win after losing to the best OKC team and now they have the Pacers and this is a good test for the team and Indiana will not want to lose their second straight game at home after dropping to the Suns.
