The Indiana Pacers take on the Memphis Grizzlies tonight at the FedEx Forum, scene of one worst performances the Pacers had last year after Frank Vogel took over the team.
The Grizz will be without Marion's Zach Randolph this time around, plus the other candidate for "Worst game under Vogel last year" was at Minnesota and the Pacers did a pretty good job of wiping away that memory earlier this season.
There are some interesting matchups in this one with all-star centers in Hibbert and Gasol, all-star caliber forwards in Granger and Gay, cat quick points guards in Collison and Conley. Paul George has a length advantage over my man Q-Pond, while David West has veteran savvy to throw at the physical presence of Marreese Speights. Pacers will need to get in smash-mouth mode early.

The Indiana Pacers head to their personal house of horrors to take on the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night at Philips Arena. The Pacers have not only struggled to beat the Hawks in Atlanta the past few years (lost last eight at Atlanta) they have rarely come close.
The Hawks have lost three straight games and continue playing without Al Horford after he suffered a shoulder injury when the Hawks played at the Fieldhouse. After he left that game, the Pacers were able to keep Joe Johnson and Josh Smith in check and cruise to an impressive win. Just winning tonight will be impressive will also depend on the Pacers ability to keep Johnson and Smith in check.

The Indiana Pacers take on the Utah Jazz tonight at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. It will mark the first time this season that the Pacers have played consecutive home games. The Pacers will also try to avoid losing two games in a row for the first time this season. One "first" is enough for one evening, don't you think?
The Jazz arrive struggling of late having lost three of their last four games. Their active front court with Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap will be a challenge for the Pacers. Plus, second-year power forward Derrick Favors remains inconsistent but has improved his game quite a bit since his rookie season providing some depth off the bench.
Roy Hibbert is due for a big game after struggling with foul trouble against Dwight Howard on Saturday. All of the Pacers struggled to a certain extent against the Magic but should be fresh and ready to go tonight.

The Indiana Pacers wrap up the first third of the season tonight on the road at the Dallas Mavericks.
The Mavs have been dealing with some nagging injuries but appear to everyone except point guard Jason Kidd available tonight. Former Pacers coach Rick Carlisle was dinged $35,000 today for Nick Nolte-ing the ball in frustration during the Mavs loss to Oklahoma City on Wednesday. Well, it was a little less passive than Nolte, but Carlisle know you never want to involve fans in the stands with your frustrations.
The Pacers are riding high heading into Dallas which is never a good thing since they seem to play better when things don't appear to be going well. Also not good is the fact that George Hill and Jeff Foster remain out for the Pacers. The bench has bucked up in the past two wins and they'll need to help keep the Mavs on the run tonight since you know Jason Terry will be ready to go off the bench for Dallas.

The Indiana Pacers play the Boston Celtics for the third time in three weeks looking to remain unbeaten on the parquet while the C's are hoping the third time is the charm after losing the first two meetings.
The Celtics have been on a bit of a roll lately, winning their last three games and four of five while dealing with some injuries. Last night the C's beat Orlando without Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neal so they may not have the familiar look again tonight, but beating any team three times in a row is a chore no matter who is playing.

The Indiana Pacers take on the Orlando Magic tonight at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in a key matchup between two teams off to strong starts in the Eastern Conference.
Orlando may take issue with that last statement considering they were drubbed by a short-handed Boston Celtics team last night playing without Ray Allen or Rajon Rondo. Still, only managing to score 56 points. Not good news for the Pacers as you can expect the Magic to show a little pride and bounce back with a better effort tonight.
Of course, the big matchup to watch will be Roy Hibbert dealing with a broken nose and Dwight Howard. Sounds like Hibbert will mask up for the game to take on Superman so hopefully it doesn't mess with his mojo. With the next three games on the road, the Pacers need to maintain the home Fieldhouse advantage they've enjoyed so far this season.

The Indiana Pacers wrap up their only West Coast roadie this season when they face the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night. Flying home with a 2-1 record on the trip and a win over the Lakers would sure be sweet only because it won't be easy.
The Lakers are back home after suffering double-digit losses in Florida to Orlando and Miami on national TV which always magnifies all of the team's faults. Essentially you can expect the Lakers to bring that same level of desperation that Sacramento displayed on Wednesday except they'll have Kobe Bryant.
But a bigger challenge for the Pacers will be the rare NBA front court that could present Roy Hibbert and David West problems with the size and productivity of Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol giving the Lakers and advantage.

The Indiana Pacers hit the Bay Area on Friday night to resume their road trip against the Golden State Warriors. Both teams suffered tough road losses on Wednesday so there will be no short supply of motivation to win this one.
Former Pacers legend Mark Jackson has already made an impact on the Warriors in his first coaching gig, doing his best to add a little defensive edge to the formerly fast-paced offensive attack. The Dubs remain a work in progress, currently 26th in the league in defensive efficiency but they do count impressive wins over Chicago and Miami among their five W's so far this season showing they have the firepower to take down the league's elite on any night.
The Pacers need to get back to focusing on executing their game plan and working that plan for 48 minutes. The "Breakdown in Sactown" was due in large part to the Pacers straying from their strengths and then being unable to find that groove that had them rolling through three quarters. In other words, if the game has yet to be decided, David West should be on the court in the final three minutes.
