Featured Game | Memphis Grizzlies vs. Indiana Pacers
What you need to know about the Pacers
Offense wasn’t the issue in the Pacers’ final game on Friday; the defense let Indiana down 141-131 against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Pacers shot 55.1% from field and 39.4% from beyond the 3-point line, but Milwaukee needed 10 more tries in the game and hit 41.9% of their 3-points to stay ahead. Pacers center Myles Turner put on a strong performance, finishing in the loss with 24 points, five rebounds and four blocks.
Buddy Hield was also productive, recording 22 points, five boards and three steals in an 8-on-13 night of shooting. After a four-game funk from Jan. 14-20, Hield has been much more consistent in his past four starts. During that run, he averaged 21 points, 5.5 rebounds and hit 47.6% of his attempts from downtown.
What you need to know about the Grizzlies
Memphis’ current five-game losing streak began before center Steven Adams picked up a knee injury after the Grizzlies’ game against Phoenix last Sunday, but his absence hasn’t made things any easier for them. Memphis lost its last game on Friday to Minnesota, 111-100. Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant had his fourth triple-double of the season with 27 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds.
Something that has let the Grizzlies down during their current swoon has been their 3-point shooting, which has been 31.1% over the past five games. In those five games, Dillon Brooks averaged just 11.8 points per game and shot 27.6% from deep. He could break away from that on Sunday, however, as the Pacers have allowed opponents to hit 41% of their 3-point attempts in the last five competitions.
