The Indiana Pacers host the Los Angeles Clippers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Tuesday night with Leandro Barbosa expected to make his debut in the blue and gold.
The Pacers could sure use a boost on the offensive end but more importantly they need a boost in the win column. The game against the Clippers marks the ninth game in a nine-game stretch against challenging competition following a six-game winning streak by the Pacers over weaker teams. Well, the Pacers are 2-6 through the first eight which is a disappointing development, so shaking up the roster and rotation by adding Barbosa couldn't come at a better time. The Clippers are trying to get things rolling themselves with plenty of talent to throw at the Pacers so the home team will need a strong effort to give themselves a chance to win.
