Pacers rise to No. 20 of NBA Power Rankings
The NBA made some major moves in this week’s NBA Power Rankings with a new top team along with a big jump by the Indiana Pacers.
In Sunday’s matchup against the Pelicans, the Pacers showcased a well-balanced offense led by a team-high-scoring performance from Pascal Siakam with 22 points. Other notable players during that matchup include Tyrese Haliburton with 21 points, Andrew Nembhard with 17 points, Obi Toppin with 16 points, and Myles Turner with 14 points.
It seems as though Indiana is trending upward, finding ways to close out games on the road and having productive contributions from their supporting cast. Some spectators believe the Pacers need more of a test in the strength of their opponents before determining if there’s been some real improvement. The team’s last six games have been against teams under .500.
It’s safe to say, if the Pacers continue competing at level they played in their last two matchups, we could continue seeing this young core climb the ranks in the league.of the season yet. The next nine games will be against opponents who are at or above .500. They are also met with the challenge of a three-game road trip against Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, and the Golden State Warriors. All of them feature some of the best offensive players in the league.
