What to Know

The Indiana Pacers haven’t won a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves since April 7 of last year, but they’ll be looking to end the drought Wednesday. The Pacers are staying on the road to face off against Minnesota at 8 p.m. ET Dec. 7 at Target Center. Indiana isn’t expected to win, but seeing as the odds didn’t stop them last game, maybe the team has another upset up their sleeve.

The Golden State Warriors typically have all the answers at home, but on Monday Indiana proved too difficult a challenge. Indiana came out on top against Golden State by a score of 112-104. Indiana’s point guard Andrew Nembhard was one of the most active players for the squad, shooting 5-for-7 from beyond the arc and almost finishing with a triple-double on 31 points, 13 assists, and eight rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Timberwolves came up short against the Oklahoma City Thunder this past Saturday, falling 135-128. Point guard D’Angelo Russell put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 27 points and six assists.

Indiana’s win lifted them to 13-11 while Minnesota’s defeat dropped them down to 11-12. Allowing an average of 115.92 points per game, the Pacers haven’t exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We’ll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming contest.
