Preseason action is underway, as two premier Eastern Conference teams, the Pacers and Cavaliers, face off today.
In a Thursday night showdown, the Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Indiana Pacers tonight at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. The results of this contest won’t impact regular season standings, but it’s still a good opportunity for both squads to prepare for the start of the regular season later this month. Donovan Mitchell is now under contract in Cleveland long-term and the team can look towards the future. The Cavaliers are a team that has the talent to win now at a high level but also sustain it longer term so they’re in a good spot.

The Pacers were very aggressive last season, trading for Pascal Siakam which ultimately paid off. Now, it’s all about continuing to build chemistry and having even more success in the upcoming season.
The Pacers were a surprise team last season, finishing 47-35 and sneaking into the playoffs without the need for a Play-In Tournament win. From there, Indiana made a deep playoff run and emerged as one of the best teams in the league. They’ll hope to continue that narrative into the upcoming season.
The Cavaliers were a very good regular season team last season, winning 48 games and earning home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Despite falling short, Cleveland is well-equipped to be even better this season.
To kick off their regular season campaign, the Pacers will be in Detroit to take on the Pistons later this month. Meanwhile, the Cavs will be in Canada for their opener to take on the Toronto Raptors.
