Pacers Looking For Third Straight Win
The Indiana Pacers play host to the Utah Jazz, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Monday evening.

This marks the third and final game of a home stand for the Pacers (10-6), where they have gone 2-0 so far, with wins over the Hawks and the Heat. The Pacers are 5-3 at home this season. However, they could be at a disadvantage, as Victor Oladipo (knee) is questionable for action on Monday. On the bright side, Domantas Sabonis has been playing very well, averaging 13.8 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists, off the bench. Tyreke Evans had a big night on the first game of the home stand, where he led the way with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Evans is another player that gives the Pacers a great boost off the bench, averaging 11.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. It may come as a surprise that the Pacers own one of the best defenses in the league, holding opponents to a league-low 101.4 points per game.

Meanwhile, the Jazz (8-8) recovered nicely from a two-game slide, by topping the Celtics in Boston in their most recent contest. This marks the final game of a road trip for the Jazz, where they have gone 2-2 so far. They are 6-4 on the road this season, which is better than their 2-4 home record. Donovan MItchell led the way in the Jazz's last outing, with 28 points on 10-of-21 shooting, which was much more efficient than the 31 points on 13-of-35 shooting that he tallied in the game before. Rudy Gobert has been a staple for Utah, holding it down inside, with an average of 15.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game. The Jazz are allowing opponents an average of 107.8 points per game, which is seventh best in the league.
