The Pacers take a perfect 2-0 road trip to the Pacific Northwest on Thursday, tipping off the first leg of a back-to-back against Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers.
The game will be Indiana's third of a five-game road swing as the Pacers (24-20) appear to have recaptured their early-season momentum and are now climbing in the Eastern Conference.
Since their leading scorer and All-Star candidate Victor Oladipo returned to the lineup, the Pacers have won five of their last six games.
