9. Indiana Pacers (Down 1-2 to Toronto Raptors)
The Indiana Pacers were a team believed to be in a rebuild, but wanting to attempt to compete as well. They went into Toronto and stole Game 1, but have lost the last two in decisive fashion. Largely, that is due to the poor shooting they’ve exhibited (41% from the field, 33% from three) and the fact that the second-leading scorer (Monta Ellis) is only averaging 12 points a game. Despite those issues, Paul George (29 ppg, 6 rpg, 4.3 apg, 46% from the field, 44% from three) has been playing very well.
