USACurrent form
The Pacers started to improve in time, which allowed the team to rejoin the fight for the top 6 of the Eastern Conference. In the last two games, Indiana won over Washington (115:103) and New Orleans (114:110). Tyrese Haliburton became a key player, demonstrating brilliant form and the main danger for the opponents' defense.
Thanks to these results, the Pacers have strengthened their position and are looking to continue their winning streak.

Probable lineup: Siakim - Jackson, Turner - Mathurin, Haliburton.
Portland Trail Blazers
USACurrent form
The Blazers remain among the three outsiders of the Western Conference. The team recent results leave much to be desired. After a victory over Houston (104:98), Portland suffered a crushing defeat from Memphis (98:123). The youth team shows efforts, but the lack of experience and stability affects the results.
