14. Indiana Pacers (33-25)

Looking at their roster you wouldn’t believe it, but the Indiana Pacers are playing like a top 4 team in the Eastern Conference right now. Victor Oladipo is playing the best basketball of his career and the team is really coming together.

So much so that multiple players reportedly went to the general manager and requested that none of the core players be moved ahead of the NBA trade deadline.

Indiana didn’t make a big move, so those requests were kept by management. The Pacers have all the looks of a playoff team in the East, and that’s pretty impressive considering this is the team that everyone was laughing at for what they got for Paul George.
