Game Preview: Overtone | 5 Things to Watch | Indy Cornrows

Team Breakdown:

The Pacers are 5-5 in their last 10 games, while the Jazz are 6-4. Both teams aren't playing their best basketball right now, and are in the middle glut of playoff teams in their respective conference, Utah is 4th and Indiana is 6th. And both are led by all-star forwards and have young bigmen handling things in the middle. Indiana has a good bench, Utah is injured.
