Now back home, the Pacers host the reeling Portland Trail Blazers, which are well on track to miss the postseason for the first time since 2013. With injuries striking them hard this season, roster changes and a semi-youth movement have changed the picture in Rose City.

Indiana ranks 16th in offensive rating and 26th in defensive rating while Portland sits at 25th and 29th respectively, on the same departments.
