The NBA Playoffs is only weeks away with teams battling for position to have the upper hand in the first round and beyond.

Practically […]

Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner is leading the league in both blocks per game with a robust 2.7 rejections per contest.

The Indiana Pacers met with the Denver Nuggets and picked up a massive win along the way. Despite the blowout, things didn’t always go perfectly for the Pacers.

The Golden State Warriors remain one of the most talented outfits in NBA history. They’re also two-time defending champions.

The […]

Indiana Pacers combo guard Tyreke Evans admits this season has been a “roller-coaster” for him. Evans signed a one-year, $12.4 million free agent deal with the Pacers last summer.

The 30-year-old point guard made Bojan Bogdanovic pay dearly for that in the Los Angeles Clippers’ 115-109 win against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night.
