Spreading most NBA games is something I hope they keep after all the bubbling.

All these early evening games are better for my sleep pattern.

Go Pacers, Warren +40 again.

Oladipo is out because of the back-to-back, presumably he will play tomorrow.

Brogdon is also returning to the starting lineup tonight.

HA!
We all know they play better if you are well rested.

Seriously though, I'm just happy the game appears to be on Fox Sports!

Side note: Did anyone else catch the Bucks vs. Rockets game yesterday? Those cream colored uniforms the Bucks have look really sharp. Whoever designed those did a really good job.

I'll add another thought here. It looks like Aaron Holiday is working harder and being more effective on defense. I've knocked his play before, so it is appropriate to give him kudos for his effort on that end.

And he’s doing it while being placed in a tough spot. In the two games, he’s been asked to play completely different roles based on who was out. Against Philly, he was a pure PG distributor with Brogdon our and against Washington, he was the off ball attacking guard with Vic out. Tough to excel in a spot like that.
