The Indiana Pacers will have an easy test on Monday as they face the injured and confidence-less Minnesota Timberwolves at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Apr 16, 2012 - Home court advantage is in sight for the Indiana Pacers with just a few more wins under their belt, and their current form is befitting of a team that should earn that right in the NBA playoffs. Fortunately, they'll have a pretty good chance to get their fifth straight when they face the reeling Minnesota Timberwolves at home on Monday.
The Wolves are about as injured as a team can be right now and have lost nine straight games after starting the season surprisingly strongly and hovering in the playoff spots up until Ricky Rubio tore his ACL. Since then it's been downhill and they're now 19.5 games back in the Northwest Division.
Indiana, on the other hand, have won four straight games including an impressive victory that pretty much knocked the Milwaukee Bucks out of the playoffs, defending their way to a win in a game where they didn't score at all in the last four minutes.
Minnesota will be more crippled than usual with superstar Kevin Love expected to miss his third straight game with a concussion.
The game will be at Bankers Life Fieldhouse at 7:00 p.m. ET.
