Analyzing their past performances, the Pacers have demonstrated an impressive scoring ability. In their recent victory over the Bulls, they put up 120 points with a field goal percentage of 51 and an even more remarkable three-point percentage of 45. Their efficiency game score stood at 103.3, indicating a well-rounded team performance.


The Pacers' offense has been firing on all cylinders, as seen in another high-scoring affair where they defeated the Rockets with 123 points and maintained an efficient field goal percentage of 52. Despite turning over the ball 20 times in that game, they managed to keep their assists-turnover ratio above water at 1.4.


However, it's not just their offense that has been notable; their defense has also stepped up when needed. Against Orlando Magic at home – despite ending up on the losing side – they managed to block six shots and steal seven times from their opponents.


The upcoming match will test both sides' mettle but playing at home should give Indiana an edge as they look to capitalize on their recent form and crowd support.


Gainbridge Fieldhouse is known for its vibrant atmosphere which could play into Indiana's hands as they aim for another win to improve upon their balanced record of wins and losses so far this season.


Fans can catch this exciting matchup scheduled for December 31st on BSIN network channel 671-4 or MSG network channel 634 depending on your location. The game is set to tip off under Eastern Time Zone timings which align with both teams' local time zones ensuring no side suffers from travel-induced fatigue or jet lag – setting up what promises to be a fair contest between two determined NBA franchises.
