The NBA standings has the Indiana Pacers on top in the east and they will be playing on the schedule for Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks on the road and this comes after the team signed free agent Andrew Bynum for the rest of the year and they remain the favorites in the east along with the Miami Heat, while the Oklahoma City Thunder remain the number one team out west after defeating the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Hawks are one of the other teams in the mix in the eastern conference, but no one thinks any team can get past either Miami or Indiana and that is likely to be the eastern conference finals this season. Last year the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers faced off in the conference finals and the series went seven, but since LeBron James and company were the number one seed, they had home court advantage. Miami won the series in seven games after falling behind 3-2 in the matchup and that should be interesting to watch the rest of the way as both teams try to get it in 2014.
The Pacers and Hawks start things off on Tuesday night at 7:30 pm ET and that comes before the Los Angeles Lakers play against the Minnesota Timberwolves and that will be at 8 pm nas LA visiting the state where they originally came from. The Chicago Bulls will be visiting the upstart Phoenix Suns and they have been one of the most surprising teams in the league and that game will be on at 9 pm ET. The last game on the schedule has the Charlotte Bobcats visiting the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena and that will be at 10:30 pm ET.
