10. Indiana Pacers (2-2)
The series between the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors is officially now a best-of-three. To reset things a bit, here’s a breakdown of what has happened through the first four games:
- The Raptors lost their homecourt advantage (with their Game 1 loss) and then gained it back (with their Game 3 win).
- Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are still mightily struggling – they’re both shooting sub-40 percent through four games.
- Paul George has feasted on both ends of the floor.
- Myles Turner has been an absolute game-changer. The Pacers are plus/minus +7.5 when he’s on the court during their wins.
No matter what the Pacers do going forward is quite irrelevant. They’re playing with house money right now. All the pressure is on the Raptors.
