Tuesday, December 26 finds Central Division rivals the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons tipping off. If the season were to finish today these two squads who rank fourth (Pacers) and fifth (Pistons) would play each other in the first round.
Although the Pacers hold the all-time record having bested the Pistons in 97 of their 189 matches it is the Pistons who hold the recent edge. To wit, last season Detroit swept the pacers and are up two games to one in the series this season.
Indiana Pacers
Victor Oladipo continues to produce at an elite level and through a third of the season is the odds on favorite to win Most Improved Player. Oladipo is averaging 25.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.8 steals and is connecting from the perimeter at a robust 42.5 percent.
Augmenting Oladipo are the ever developing Myles Turner, the enigmatic Lance Stephenson, youngster Domantas Sabonis and sniper Bojan Bogdanovic.

Indiana is 7-3 in their past ten games with most of the victories coming against the lower seeded squads. The Pacers have the talent, but are still learning to be consistent as they often let teams jump on them early. They enter the night having won two in a row with the last game being an overtime win versus Brooklyn.

No new injuries on the table as Edmund Sumner (knee) remains out indefinitely and Glen Robinson III (ankle) continues to recover from surgery and is expected out until sometime in January.
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons have responded to their seven game losing streak by winning four of the last five games including one against this Pacers squad. Part of that success came about due to rotational changes Stan Van Gundy made. Specifically, he’s inserted Reggie Bullock with the starters. In the recent win Bullock, Anthony Tolliver) and Langston Galloway combined to connect on 9 of 17 from the perimeter.
Andre Drummond posted a double-double of 23 points and 13 rebounds in the win. To capture the season series however, the Pistons will need more out of Tobias Harris and Reggie Jackson who combined for 14 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

Free Indiana Pacers vs. Detroit Pistons NBA Prediction: Home court rules
Despite a winning road record the Pacers haven’t posted a quality win since mid November (Heat). Still, this game feels like it may come down to whether Avery Bradley returns and how the miscellaneous categories shake out. Indiana is adept at scoring in the fast break and off turnovers while the Pistons score off second chance opportunities and rank second in the NBA for stopping teams in the fast break.

Although the Pacers have more weapons this one should go Detroit’s way particularly if Bradley returns to defend Oladipo.
