The Pacers have a 7-5 record right now and are looking pretty much the same team that pushed LeBron James to the brink in Game 7 of the first round series. Domantas Sabonis continues to improve his play and put an argument forth for a starter's role over either Myles Turner or Thad Young (given he can play both positions), while the Pacers' starters have thus far been adequate - nothing too spectacular in Oladipo fashion.

Indeed, they owe at least 2 of their wins solely to the former Indiana Hoosier's clutch gene - Oladipo has been money from long range in clutch periods so far, averaging over 60% conversion. Tyreke Evans, Doug McDermott and Kyle O'Quinn still need to mesh properly into their rotations, so there's untapped potential in this roster to look forward to.
