The Indiana Pacers begin another stretch of the schedule that will have them playing four games in five days tonight when they host the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz were in New York last night suffering a tough loss to the short-handed Knicks so while the Pacers will have their legs back under them, the Jazz will be looking to move past last night's loss. After playing Utah, the Pacers hit the road for a pair of tough games against the Atlanta Hawks (Wednesday) and Memphis Grizzlies (Friday) before returning to play their Western Conference comp, the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.
Also, it appears Jamaal Tinsley will not make his triumphant return to the Fieldhouse with the Jazz tonight. My guess is because his return wouldn't be triumphant since he likely wouldn't play and would instead be a pain and possible distraction for the Jazz. Besides, Larry Bird may not have given Tinsley permission to return to the Fieldhouse yet.
