As the tank continues for the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Indiana Pacers are trying to steal the eighth seed as they are two games behind the Charlotte Hornets. The Thunder are just two games out of the third-best odds in the draft lottery. They look to continue their already 11 game losing streak to improve their odds.
Darius Bazley is coming off of his career-night scoring 26 points and looking to strike again. Bazley has been playing well since his return from his injury.
The lack of big-men for the Pacers may be a problem against the Thunder’s Moses Brown and Tony Bradley.
