Memphis at Indiana

While Indiana and Memphis came into the All-Star break as a #6 seed in their respective conference, the path and the relative strength of each team is vastly different. The Pacers closed out the first half of the season leaking oil severely, dropping their last six games. Larry Bird also stood pat before the trade deadline, so what you see is what you get. The Pacers are just above water at 29-28 on the season, while Memphis comes in a sturdy 34-24. The West has had the East's number during the regular season, especially as a road favorite where they have covered 56.4% of the last 464 meetings. Take Memphis for my NBA February Game of the Month.
