The Pacers enter the final game of their regular season with a high probability that they’ll land in the fifth seed.The question now becomes which team will claim the fourth seed, setting a first-round matchup with Indiana in stone. Currently, the 76ers have the edge on the Cavaliers, and can secure the third seed by winning their final two games. However, if the Sixers, who have won their last 14 games in row, drop one of their last two and the Cavaliers win their final two — both against the Knicks — Philadelphia will drop to the fourth seed.
It remains a mathematically possible — but highly unlikely — that Indiana (48-33) can rise to as high as the fourth seed. In order for that to occur, the Pacers will have to beat the Hornets on Tuesday, and the Cavaliers would have to lose back-to-back games against New York, the first of which is on Monday night.
Due to the high likelihood of Indiana ending up with the fifth seed, Nate McMillan could go the route of giving his players rest on the final night of the season, allowing the Pacers to have a full six days of rest between Sunday’s win over the Hornets and the start of the playoffs next weekend.On Tuesday, the Pacers will celebrate Fan Appreciation Night while they host the Charlotte Hornets (35-46) for the fourth meeting this season. During their last meeting on Sunday, Indiana built and early lead and protected it throughout as Domantas Sabonis posted a career-best 30 points in the victory.
Also of note was the Pacers’ lofty assist total during the victory. As a group, Indiana passed out 27 dimes as the ball whipped around the court, creating a surplus of open shots.
As the postseason awaits, the Pacers have been playing some of the best basketball of their season, winning seven of their last 10, and moving into the top 12 in the league in both offensive and defensive rating (points per 100 possessions).The Pacers play their final road game of the regular season when they face the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday afternoon.
After dropping their last game in Toronto, the Pacers’ hopes of moving up from the five spot in the East will require a near miracle considering the way the Sixers and Cavs are finishing the season, not to mention the opponents they must face.
With a day off, the Pacers should be in better shape to face the Hornets after looking worn out against the Raptors on the back-to-back. Still, with the early tip time and standings situation, the Pacers will have to account for human nature kicking in.
The Hornets have their regular starting five which on paper makes you wonder how they are 10 games below .500, but they are now relegated to playing out the season. The Hornets beat the Pacers at Charlotte in early February thanks to an impressive 41-point performance by Kemba Walker along with 31 points from Nicolas Batum.
A bright spot from that loss for the Pacers was seeing Myles Turner hold his own against Dwight Howard, a matchup that has been brutal for Turner in the past. If he can win that matchup again, the Pacers should be in good shape to win on the road this time around.
