6. Indiana Pacers (24-12)

The Indiana Pacers are one of the most interesting teams in the Eastern Conference, and almost no one seems to be talking about them. But that could prove to be a mistake as this team has the talent to make a run to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Victor Oladipo is arguably a top 15-20 player in the NBA and the Pacers have one of the best big combos (Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner) in the league. They’ll both ideal in today’s pace-and-space game.

This team could be one quality veteran to being in the conversation of finishing the regular season with the best record in the East. And that would be something.
