The Pacers lost to Orlando and Cleveland by single digits at home, but they fell at Cleveland by 13 points on Sunday. They traded starting guard Caris LeVert to the Cavaliers over the weekend, which means they are now replacing 18.4 points per game in their lineup.
There are also trade rumors swirling around leading scorer Domantas Sabonis, who averages 18.9 points and 12.1 rebounds per game. Indiana has been without point guard Malcolm Brogdon since Jan. 19 due to Achilles soreness. He is listed as questionable to return on Tuesday night.
