Pacers need to bounce back after dropping some road games Without Myles Turner the Indiana Pacers (8-6) have been destroyed in the post. Malcolm Brogdon and Doug McDermott have had some stellar games, not to mention Damantas Sabonis has added to his insane double-double count this season, 14 out 14 games. After quality victories at the Golden State Warriors and Portland Trailblazers, the Pacers dropped a couple games to the LA Clippers and Dallas Mavericks by fairly sizable margins. These two contenders in the Western Conference gave the Pacers a sign that they need their big-man Turner down the stretch. A good test for the Pacers would have been a rising Phoenix Suns team, but the game was postponed for Covid related reasons.
